What a gorgeous show. Seeing the men playing dominoes and the vendors😍...it was PR but it felt so familiar to anyone from the islands.

First time seeing this clip from Dr. King's 39th birthday. His friend saying "We're gonna celebrate Martin Luther King's day today" feels so haunting and beautiful since this would be is last birthday.

What a cover! In a world that often treats Black women with little regard, my new book defiantly & unapologetically declares that Black women are worthy & that Black feminist thought remains relevant & necessary. www.bloomsbury.com/us/spaces-fo... 35% off Discount code: GLR AT8

I’ll never forget the transcendent feeling of singing Total Praise with my college choir. May his memory be a blessing.

I know Total Praise is Richard Smallwood's most famous song but "Thank You" is the one you listen to when things get heavy. IYKYK.

I actually feel this more deeply than I thought I would. I discuss one of her lesser known films, Baby Boom, when teaching on media portrayals of gender norms post the Women's Liberation Movement.

They send you the page proofs in a few weeks for final review, but essentially warn you that changing the pagination with edits is a crime comparable to high treason.

My retired mother volunteers at a library and today she was excited to share that someone returned two books: Mine and another about Justice Sotomayor. These are the things that make my little nerd heart smile.

Two books. One about supreme court Justice Sotomayor and the othe This is Our Freedom by Geniece Mondé.

This is the way. There's too much going on. We might as well have our favorite cereals. I don't even correct loved ones when they pronounce the "l" in salmon anymore. We're all just trying to survive.

"My lived experience makes me a better scientist. It sharpens my research. It deepens my compassion. It fuels my teaching. I’ve faced parole boards and dissertation committees. I’ve survived prison, rejection, and structural racism. I’m not afraid of grant panels, or of students who need grace."

Finished this yesterday and WOW!!! These characters are so well developed, and the plot structure works so well. From beginning to end, this book was satisfying, complex, and tender. It's definitely in my top 3 books for the year.

Unsolicited Writing Advice, no. 3214566: Trying to follow writing trends is usually a waste of time. By the time you can see them, they're over. Instead, just write what you love. Write it as well as you can, and wait. Don't be afraid to be different. One day, maybe, you'll be the trend.

When i was in my 20s ( 2010s) I used to wonder why older women had makeup looks that were popular in the early 1990s. Now I get it. My makeup look will forever be a time capsule of whatever "easy soft glam" is (that was what i searched in YouTube. I'm not learning any new tricks in my 40s.

I was able to complete one more book before my time is consumed with teaching prep, grading, and writing. This book detailed heavy and painful experiences, yet, the women's wit and candor made me laugh loud. The author centered Southern Black women and their lives.

Fun fact (pejorative): I and other Black women often commiserate on the fact that in some contexts we're assumed to be competent & responsible (so we receive little to no mentorship), yet infantalized when we're told that we need to meet benchmarks we've already exceeded. Super fun!
