The founder and CEO of Who Speaks For Me?, an organization which is dedicated to the issues of women who have experience trauma and imprisonment, has had her intellectual property stolen by a White broadcaster from Utah.
Taylar Nuevelle coined the phrase “trauma to prison pipeline” and dedicates her work to outreach and education regarding the issue of women’s imprisonment after trauma. Her work is being stolen by Kim Fischer, a White woman who works for ABC4 in Utah, who claims that she has no idea who Nuevelle is and that her boss created the term “trauma to prison pipeline” out of thin air.
Nuevelle has clarified that she has no problem with the issue being discussed but is rightfully upset that her work is being claimed by people who have not lived the experiences which lead to her research and who have no personal investment in the issue.
You can contact Kim Fischer at kfischer@good4utah.com, on FB @ ABC4Kim, on insta @ ABC4Kim, and on twitter @ ABC4Kim.
You can also contact the ABC4 General Manager to complain about this journalistic plagiarism.
Hey! This is *really* important. The erasure of Black Women is an ongoing problem and if we don’t nip this in the bud, it’s going to grow into a huge issue for this Black intellectual who is doing such important work.
I’m sorry but for a phrase or term for use as a title, to claim it’s under your ownership would you not need to have a Trademark for it? This isn’t a copyright case, it’s a trademark one.
You do not have to have a phrase trademarked or copyrighted in order for it to be recognized as your intellectual property. The simple act of creating the term makes it her intellectual property. Nobody is talking about copyrights, we’re talking about intellectual dishonesty and journalistic plagiarism. They are using a concept she created and research she has dedicated her working life to and claiming they came up with it themselves. That’s plagiarism.
please stop going on about things you clearly don’t know about lmao
