Very proud of my community journalism students Joaquin Garcia and Gian Giron for participating in the 3rd annual Black Cowboys and Cowgirls at the Cotton Club Museum. Joaquin’s presentation on underrepresented narratives about Florida Black ranchers in media was excellent.

I’ve experienced so many full-circle moments since returning to my home state to teach brilliant students at the University of Florida. Today, my students learned about the Florida Photo News, which was the local press produced by and for our African American community in Palm Beach County.

And so it begins. Happy start of the Fall 2025 semester (with some local wisdom)! 🐊Highlight of the day: Discovering the UF Pan-Hellenic Council circle and reflecting on my family’s Divine 9 legacy. Also saw few other views that captured my attention during my post-lunch walk.

I caught myself explaining something real thoughtful to a grad student today. I couldn’t believe I was saying something so smart with such confidence. It was damn near an out-of-body experience. I was witnessing myself explain something using logic I learned in grad school 😂🤓

My non-academic friends were fixated on this question. If you have a topic you’re passionate about and rich data to explain and analyze, you’ll likely find yourself setting a page limit. Mine was 25 per chapter. I defended last summer (PhD in Communication), and my page count came in at 267.
