So excited about the direction that these leaders in the field are going to serve Tribal Nations through #oralhistory. Thanks for the article Erika Bolstad! pewtrusts.org/en/research-an…

LGBTQ+ events are more than "just social" - they allow LGBTQ+ folks to find belonging,community,& empowerment. This behavior by hate groups is so devastating and targeted. Hoping the American Association for State and Local History and wider museum community can mobilize to work against hate in our own communities. #MoSH

Super excited to join SFA's team!

Woooooo! #OHA2022

Such a thought provoking and honest conversation at #oha2022 on police brutality and oral history work in MS and CA by Alissa Rae Funderburk, @chismestorian, and Justin Randolph. I’ll be chewing on those thoughts for a while. Thanks for your work!

So humbled and honored to witness these gifts of truth being shared #OHA2022

I’m having a blast at OHA, but I’m definitely thinking about my amazing team at Southern Foodways Alliance today as they put on another awesome symposium. They’ve worked so hard and have created a space for great conversations. Cheers! #SFABBQ

My initial thoughts when Uber started…it’s still weird

I am physically at OHA but I am also mentally at #MidnightsTaylorSwift. I multitask.

Looking forward to seeing how William & Mary ‘s Andre Taylor helps create this space of food, culture, memory, and family through this necessary project. #oha2022

Thank you to all the planners and volunteers with @OHAnetwork who made #OHA2022 such a fantastic event filled with truth, empathy, and hard conversations. See y’all next time!
