Since I started this doctoral journey, it has been my dream to walk across the stage and get hooded with our boys. Today, my dream came true. #Classof2020 #BetterLateThanNever our boys are watching! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿#TC #PhD #Columbia #Convocation

Greetings people! Check out my recent interview with How Books Are Made, where I spoke about my work using Bibliotherapy and my research using books to address post-incarcerated syndrome if you have a moment give it a listen:

"Let us begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time. Everyone in this room is in one way or another aware of that. We are in a revolutionary situation, no matter how unpopular that word has become in this country." - James Baldwin

Is there anyone in my network that can help me get a doctor from MSKCC to review my mother’s chart? Please inbox me. #StomachCancer #Intestinalblockage Please help if you can. I love my mommy.

Picture me benefiting from a policy, then rising to the highest court in the land only to take away that policy so that no one else could benefit from it.🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿

I'm excited to be part of the #HIPHOPEDConference 2023! If you were one of the fortunate people that registered for the #SOLDOUT conference, check out my workshop session "I SAW MYSELF SEE MYSELF: USING SPOKEN WORD POETRY TO (RE)IMAGINE IDENTITY" I might just spit a piece or two.

#HipHopEd join us at 8:15 pm EST

I don’t know if it’s poor timing, but @donlemon was kinda turning up a little too hard at the NYE event this year on @ABC . 😂😂😂 But in all seriousness… take your vacation and sick time because if I learned anything from @donlemon’s firing… you can be replaced.

I’m not going to lie that AI generated song “Heart on my sleeve” is amazing. My question is: If Drake and The Weekend decide to take that track is that copyright infringement?

Question for the day goes to my 80’s and 90’s babies: What “hood” book(s) did you grow up reading? I’ll start, THE COLDEST WINTER EVER @SisterSouljah #Urbanbooks #Booklovers #Bibliotherapy
