“If you can only be tall because somebody is on their knees, then you have a serious problem. And my feeling is: White people have a very, very serious problem, and they should start thinking about what they can do about it. Take me out of it.” - Toni Morrison

I’ve been thinking and writing a lot about abolition, liberation, and curricular justice in the field of world language education. I’m honored and excited to share and reflect on this topic during my plenary at the upcoming AAAL conference. I hope you’ll join me! www.aaal.org/events/aaal-...

Just did an interview that was super chill, so I naturally slipped back into my rural Black southern accent. When I tell you this AI transcription software is confused!

The ACTFL convention is off to a great start. Sheryl Lee Ralph gave an inspiring keynote address, and it was such an honor to meet and chat with her in person. Looking forward to the rest of the weekend! #ACTFL24

Enjoyed my first (of what I hope will be many) WAFLT conference, where I met and reconnected with many wonderful and dedicated language professionals in Wisconsin. After giving a 6-hour pre-conference workshop plus a talk at Lawrence University, I’m encouraged but also exhausted 😮‍💨
