I often tell the story of how stumbling across Black Geographies and the Politics of Place changed my life/work. What an honor to be in this conversation.

Grateful to my co-authors for the conversations around sustaining our departments better. The paper is an outcome of our symposium during AAG 2024. @geographers.bsky.social

I appreciated having the chance to talk about Integrated on Michigan Public Radio. Michigan and Detroit are central to the story of Integration and the increasingly strident resistance to it in the 1970s.

For the first time in my life, a physician (my new ENT, a WM) knew what the research said about Black women and offered it to me without me having to ask. More of this.

AAG Detroit filled my heart and spirit. So many important moments, warm hugs, and solidarities formed. At the top of my list is laughing with Gwendolyn Warren, our Honorary Geographer, and witnessing Rickie Sanders get her flowers. What a gift.

In light of the upcoming @geographers.bsky.social conference, take a look at the many incredible co-editors of the journal! Our editorial team is comprised of those with a passion for critical geography, and work without compensation to keep ACME's commitment to #openaccess possible. #AAG #AAG2025
