I could feel Tina Turner saying goodbye to us when I watched her documentary, but it’s still a shock. I hope, in the end, she got everything she needed and even more of what she wanted.

I’ve been away from Twitter for a bit. It may be time for my return. 🤔

Great start to the @CivicCommonsUS day in Macon with a conversation moderated by @_BronT_ @GARFoundation about the Tonika Lewis Johnson’s Folded Map Project in Chicago, work to advance equity, self care and great books to read.

[Charles Thomas @cthomasclt]

Excited to be in Macon this week for Reimagining the Civic Commons 3.0 discussing how to foster public spaces that engage and serve the priorities of residents in #KnightCities. Looking forward to learning from @knightmacon and civic leaders from across the country.
