A lot has changed since I was last on Twitter. A sample of things that haven't:
(a) how inspired I am by the legacies and labors of those who fight for a better South
(d) the undeniable fact that the South is America
(z) home is where drive-thru daiquiris are

First pub alert for my girl @MariaMariaCast2 !!! Not a CSD scholar, but the findings and implications about incorporating CLD training into existing coursework, creating stand-alone CLD courses, and "multiculturalism" are relevant for us all. https://t.co/FMRbzHHJuY

[School Discipline Lab @schooldisclab]

I studied under some of the faculty on this team in undergrad. They changed my thinking + my life. So excited for all this program will nurture!
