Ecstatic to be honorary coach w/ @LMUWBasketball, nominated by my students on the team. These women inspire the crowd each game, including my 6YO nephew & Iggy fan. My middle school BBall-self teared up, never imagining a future me could be in such positions. Big win. Go Lions!
Loyola Marymount just beat Gonzaga in Spokane for the first time in 32 years 🤯
@lmulionsMBB also snap the Zags’ 76-game home win streak with THIS shot😱
Thanks to the courage of students, the up-swell of grassroots activism, and the professionalism/advocacy/expertise of staff and faculty, LMU is finally establishing a DREAM center and better living out its mission. https://t.co/Ki0nVCX6qB

Ad Astra per Aspera. I learned today of the the passing of my graduate student co-instructor. Losing a student lacerates the heart. Daisy Saucedo was kind, humble, confident, beloved by our students, and now joins the stars. Cherish your colleagues, students & loved ones, folks.
Dr. Brenda Nicolás & I wrote an essay on the importance of land acknowledgements (and going beyond them) for the beginning of LMU's 1st Indigenous Heritage Month. Humbly, I hope we honor the original caretakers of the land upon which LMU was built. https://t.co/WcDeMENWsD
Latinx students, staff, faculty, alumni have made LMU a better place for decades. They have moved through the world in such extraordinary ways. I am honored to put a spotlight on a few this month. (Romina Huerta, Marisol León, Tony Alonso). https://t.co/Fe51ocgD05
Proud of the legacy of Anahuacalmecac school in Tovangaar (Los Angeles). As a trustee, really proud to be featured in the ABC documentary (tonight). https://t.co/U5niOrOCK5
My heart is wrecked. Been thinking about 1000+ unmarked graves of indigenous children found at 3 boarding schools in Canada recently. A visit from a catholic pope is not going to heal the generational pain of all those families. Rest and rise, little hummingbirds.
I attended the beautiful @Bozalta (virtual) release party last Friday night. Every spoken poem was moving, but this right here, y'all, . . . got to me. ✊ Read aloud. Slow. I wish it wasn't such an appropriate prayer for our times. Say their names! https://t.co/xG5k8bvCbA
It's been a true privilege to count Bob Singleton as a colleague. What a journey! àṣẹ! I aspire to a tiny fraction of the courage & impact he & his partner, Helen, have had- from the Civil Rights movement to LA. The most well deserved presidential award: https://t.co/3tnXXDnC2Q
Honored my artwork is the cover of the 2021 NACCS conference. I contemplated the Magic Realism of our time, with its political struggles, love & loss, life & death, healing & passion, isolation & connection, & (im)measurable things. Virtual, affordable mtg https://t.co/sjfL56PHMU

I love what Roberto & collaborators have been doing: Concerts, Tres Souls, appearances w/ La Santa Cecilia. Etc. ...I add a reminder that the Serenata de Tríos radio program on @KXLU889 has been keeping boleros alive every single Sunday, in LA and beyond - since March 1998
