Loved watching Citrus get the W. Go Owls! A couple of players who coached Peanut in summer basketball camp came to his game earlier in the day. Of course, he wanted to show up for his coaches that nt. The kids are alright. ❤️🦉

❄️ On a frigid Weds nt, brave service-learning marketing students visited Lopez Urban Farm in Pomona. They asked Farmer Stephen why he kept Bodega Comunitaria open that eve when he could have canceled due to weather. “…consistency. We said we would be here for the community.” ❤️

🌎 The students in my Social Impact Marketing course inspire me. Their hearts, desire, and collective agency will change the world. Here they are, serving at Sowing Seeds for Life food bank + pantry in Pomona.

Ready to harvest! Pick your own produce on Saturdays at Lopez Urban Farm in Pomona. Pay what you can. Take what you need. All harvest supplies + instructions provided. Love this community partnership.

Serving together should remind us that we are interconnected, interdependent, and interrelated. This not only unites communities in this nation, but helps us to broaden our loyalty to include the #WorldHouse. #MLKDay23Chat #MLKDay @AmeriCorps @AmeriCorpsCEO @BerniceKing
Q3: How does #Volunteering on #MLKDay help strengthen and unite communities across America? #MLKDay23Chat

A few student reflections from last term: We could be human and fail. It was okay to experiment while doing your best. I learned how to get a job, not just skills used on the job.

Scarf. Gloves too. That’s the color of my puffy jacket.
People in LA this week during this severe cold front (mid to high 40°s):

Thankful for parents who filled my plate (in many ways). Grateful for time with family today. Remembering the land, suffering, and greatness of Indigenous people. Thinking of our global family. We have many rivers to cross. May we learn to love well.

Today 100% of my students in one of my classes said they have never had a Black male english professor. As corny as it may sound--this is why many of us do this work. Sometimes simply being in the room is a form of activism. Our presence matters. Our existence is resistance.

Celebrated @veterans_cpp 10th anniversary this month! I love working with this on-campus partner. They are a force for good, welcoming to all, leading by example. Alum and US Coast Guard Tahir Davis shared a moving reminder, “…our purpose is to help others.” 🙏🏼 #WeAreCPP

Starts in the home. Parents/caregivers. Thank you for this convo. This needs to be intentional. Deliberately considered, delivered, modeled, and discussed. Not passive.

✨ Shine that beautiful light. ✨
Authenticity is not, "Take me as I am, like it or not!" Rather, authenticity is the integration of our values, emotions, and behaviors, so they shine their light in the world. It is the ultimate expression of intentionality and wisdom.
