Paper is neither kind nor cruel only white in its neutrality and I have for reality now the brown bar of my arm moving in broken rhythms across this dead place. --Audre Lorde, “After a first book” (1970)

As a teen in the 80s, I heard stories abt illegal abortion and imagined some distant, dystopian past. How strange and sad to be parenting a teen now in that very dystopia that seemed so far off and impossible to me when I was his age. #RoeVsWade

62 years ago today, 6-year-old #RubyBridges integrated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many, including white moderates, believed that she was “out of order.” Thank you to Ruby Bridges and her family for being “out of order.”

Imagine that one of these beautiful children - all shot to death last night at Michigan State University - belonged to you. As long as there are guns everywhere, our children aren’t safe anywhere. Don’t sit on the sidelines. We need every voice and vote. Text ACT to 644-33

It’s hard to feel proud about politics these days. But today I am proud Congressman Jamaal Bowman is my representative. As a mother and educator, I can’t understand why we let this continue. #GunControlLawsNOW

Omg! It’s been a long road from first gen to full prof. I never quite shook the imposter syndrome, but I’m celebrating this victory today and feeling grateful for years of students and tall piles of their essays that have lined the road with joy.
