Thank you!!

Join with “Real Teaching Is Soul Work: A Story about Black Laughter and a Call for Spiritual Literacies,” on Feb. 28, 7 p.m. ET. Dr. Lamar L. Johnson & @AprilBakerBell will converse to thread together Black spirituality, knowledge making & teaching. ncte.org/rsvp-soul-work/ #AARI22

You become what you think about. Create your reality through your repetition. “It feels good to be rich in health, wealth, happiness, and love.”

Black people in the US have created pockets of joy no matter the circumstance. Dr. Lamar L. Johnson talks about the importance of Black laughter in his new book. We can acknowledge racism and the necessary resistance, but we must also privilege the joy we emanate. #NCTEchat

The external world is not your source to true liberation. True liberation requires deep self and soul work. You are your own liberator.

Listen to the language of the Universe. The Universe will speak to you through numbers, family members and friends, listening to music or through listening deeply to yourself. The Universe is always talkin that talk.

They don’t always stab you from the back, sometimes they stab you from the front.

Your passion work can make you paper.

God, where you are is where I want to be.

When you’re mentor and you’re name twin are featured together! THEE dynamic Duo! @aprilbakerbell Dr. Lamar L. Johnson #NCTE22 Y’all know the vibes 😊

This structural critique draws on Dr. Lamar L. Johnson’s typology of anti-Black violence in schools, where they distinguish btwn violence as systemic, linguistic, curricular, physical, symbolic, pedagogical and linguistic - as in @aprilbakerbell's work on anti-Black linguistic racism.

When I told God yes, that’s when the change happened.

An idea without execution is just a thought.

Black Storytelling, creativity, and imagination move the world forward. I want to create stories about the people who are still living and breathing. The ones who are waiting for our stories to be written. #UnwrittenStories #CreatingOurOwnNarrative

I’m counting my blessings and I lost count of them.

God, I thank you for always holding my hand, even though there were times when I would let go of yours. In this present season, I will not let go of your hand. I’m moving with unshakable faith.

This earthquake just made me reconsider living in LA.
