these white folks stay doing whatever they want with simone leigh art, ain't taking a damn thing seriously about her vision. Penn ain't doing a damn thing about racial justice. Artwashing is what we can expect from "rethinking monuments" america 2020.

…the pleasure, I assure you, was theirs. 😎 I mean, on a night like this, seeing some Penn faculty lead courageously in defense of Palestine solidarity, it makes me feel grateful to the real ones around the school who helped to make this happen for me. I won’t dismiss that. 🙏🏾

2024, I’m happy to announce I am now “looking for work.” I’m committed to living where I am now but can commute. I’m open to hearing ideas and opportunities across local arts and culture, community organizing, academia (as I’m a newly minted Education Ph.D), etc. Get with me.

The family has said time and time again. You want to do something for us, BRING MUMIA ABU JAMAL HOME NOW. If you are not entering, beginning the conversation with this immediately and urgently as a good faith act, then you are simply continuing the cruelty @PhillyMayor #Move36

😍. I just had this chapter drop in this stellar collection. That being said, it’s sometimes difficult to get feedback from the audiences you wrote it for. If this first page of my chapter seems appealing to you, DM me, I’ll send, and I’d love to know your opinion on it. ❤️🙏🏾

As of March 31, 2023, I'm no longer [volunteer] Program Director at @RobesonHousePHL . I simply can’t go on this way. No campaigns please. Don’t abandon the place and think you are doing me a favor. This is simply a biased story of my own. #Robeson125

While I’m at it, hey young academic folk, we focus way too much on deconstruction and critique. tell me about something you building, or intending to build. Take some risk and put yourself on the operating table. it might actually help both of us in finding clarity sooner.

Democrats, you can say “history has been made with this Black woman” fifty leven times and that don’t mean you actually have an agenda that cares for the issues Black women have.
