As a teacher for years and now an author, I pay attention to this when o visit schools and I HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION with the teachers whose classroom I visit. I would pull those BLACK children from their tables and mixed them in with the children who doesn’t look like them!

Santa thought I was extra nice this year and left me a very special delivery underneath the Christmas tree 😃

My parents were great cooks. Both of them knew their way around the kitchen.

So when I’m in the kitchen these days, it’s my way of feeling connected to them again. And I can truly say that this year’s been all joy so far.

Slowly (but surely) sweet’s outweighing bitter.
