I don’t know, Appa, I just... being an X Wing pilot was just always YOUR thing, not mine. I want to find my own thing, whatever that is. I hope I can make you proud.
@JasonReynolds83 So beautiful! Christian Robinson is THE artist I trust to do Ms. Nina Simone justice! Her expressiveness in this visual poem is divine -- I'm feeling her open mouth for the voice she used so powerfully. If you've got his number, please tell him about himself. :-)

Thank you to Dr. Matias, Dr. Ronda Taylor Bullock, and all at @weare_org! Excellent keynote, I'm looking forward to continuing to engage and learn tomorrow! #BeAntiRacist <3
Dr. Matias to white educators & future educators on white emotionality and white supremacy: 1) Why don't you talk about race to Uncle Bobby at the diner table? 2) Write it all down. Make the list. 3) When you see yourself acting like Uncle Bobby, you need to stop and work it out!

Christopher Myers spoke about his dad & the magic in the rewrite and tied it in to the opportunities for change in the world & then Jacqueline Woodson brought it all home! It was such an honor to be in the company of such a distinguished, loving & supportive group.
@Ebonyteach @reneewauthor@JasonReynolds83 I'm sorry to miss @Ebonyteach & @reneewauthor! My bookstore let me get Love Is a Revolution Fri. and I devoured it Sat. & texted friends my excitement. ❤️❤️❤️ I want to to reread it slowly!
