Educators must realize ‘the space within the space’ and what particular bodies are navigating. Most times in school through to my first years of university, that sense of belonging—to a collective, a culture, an identity, Blackness—intervened in every major action I made.

I have always admired the incredible talent Matthew R. Morris has for making one think and reflect through his writing. This book will stay with me for a long time.

This week's #TitleTuesday is the memoir MY FIGHTING FAMILY by Morgan Campbell, which is now available with PenguinRandomHouseCA! A witty, wise, rich, and soulful illumination of the journey to find clarity in all that conflict.

“You’re preaching to the choir. MFer, choir’s need to practice the basics some times.” - Kiese Laymon The gems dude drops without any effort blows my mind. Go listen to Reckon True Stories with the brilliant Deesha Philyaw. You won’t be disappointed.

A note: Educators must be comfortable with the process and content of curriculum delivery not solely being in the hands of the teacher.

Thanks for sharing Chris Mitchell

summer break is over folks. 🔔 #BBLM

Slowly learning to be ok with not finishing things. Things like movies and podcasts that just don’t do it for me. Took a show off my “to watch” list after two episodes. Stopped a movie 45 minutes in. Progress at my big age. I’m so proud of myself lol.

Oh, Johnny Mac, how wrong you were…

listennn, never underestimate a public school teacher.

This fall, don’t let the obstructions that happen when learning fall on the shoulders of marginalized youth more than they do the traditional educators who are tasked to teach them.

This could be the visual trailer for chapter 7 of my book, “Mixed Thoughts”. #BlackBoysLikeMe

Forgot how special this place was. One of the Wonders of the World, if you ask me.
