Extraordinarily proud to announce that Hunter College Senate leads New York State by passing a resolution in our senate for a mutual defense compact of our public institutions, SUNY & CUNY, to stand up for higher ed & our students!! Onwards! nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Kids Opening Day and my kid is freezing 😂😂

Got to witness my former TA successfully defend her dissertation this morning. This evening I got to catch up with former colleagues… AND another great reminder on why I’m where I am. Today has been a long, but good day.

The wrong people are dying.

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).

Black people are the patriots white America has always pretended to be. Period. New paragraph.

It’s so weird how we’re all just working like this is still a normal country.

Sweet Sixteen 💚🤍

My princess sat on the panel with us this weekend… she didn’t talk (this time lol) but apparently told the senior scholar who chaired our session afterwards that she’s “not a scholar yet, but I will be” she continues to be so many things I’m still working towards ❤️

Margaritas with my bestie for the first time in too long 💜

I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Dr. Jones for the Black Studies Podcast, and getting to talk about this fabulous book. Be sure to check out the book and any local talks about it.

Tonight has been a lot. But at least I get to sleep in a little tomorrow.

I already didn’t really want to make this trip… the fact that our flight has already been delayed four hours really just makes me want to go back home.

This is going to be the longest week ever.

WWE, 4-star hotel, and getting lost with the princess was the perfect way to spend the day ❤️

Snow day tomorrow means I really should catch up on sleep tonight… instead I’ll be working on a grant app and grading 🙃

Happy BLACK History Month yall! 🖤🫶🏾

Academic institutions in the US need to seriously consider how they will support and protect their minority faculty during this time. The conditions we face are already hostile for most - targeted attacks and added barriers to advancement will push many to simply walk away.

One of my students wrote her course reflection as if she was Lady Whistledown… definite points for creativity lol

I don’t care what the temp is. If my room ain’t cold when I go to sleep, a fan gonna spin.

Last week my interview with Dr. Sonja Lanehart dropped, and today the one with Dr. Nwando Achebe is out. Both inspiring and important conversations on a day like today. Check both out on all major streaming platforms open.spotify.com/show/0faw8UO...

These conference registration prices have really gotten out of control. I’m sure there are valid reasons but $400/conference is… a lot. And a reason folks probably *aren’t* actually registering.
