Grieve and organize. As Alice Walker said, “The way forward is with a broken heart.”

friendly reminder that everyone is brilliant & has so much to offer the world & there's enough sun for everyone & these systems trick us into believing that there aren't enough opportunities for everyone but there really are

Toni Morrison said, “I do write towards something...The possibility of moving from data to information to knowledge to wisdom is the track of everything I have ever written.” This is also a good approach to teaching.

Watching my mom give birth to my baby sister was a cannon event. Grateful for @Danez_Smif including me in their curation of Poem-a-Day with @POETSorg . If y’all knew how much Danez has been a light + guide for me. 🥹 it’s an honor!

[LeVar Burton @levarburton]

Y’all, I’m still reeling. I lost both my editor and publisher yesterday in one fell swoop! My editor/publisher @likaluca was the first person to tell me it was time for me to write down my story. She is responsible for my 2 book deal at Pantheon for a sum that makes me giddy.

We made an album.
it’s called ‘Milton + esperanza’ and it’s coming out soon.

how do you listen to yourself? how do you keep listening to yourself? how do you keep following your own compass?
