@OkeyNdibe @helonhabila @KarenAttiah @bhakti_shringa @ChidiOdinkalu @jnyairo Two favorites, by two professors: Namwali Serpell and Catherine Adoyo, two writers with brains on steroids and they can write! They are also pioneers in innovative experimentation with narrative, really impressive. Professor Adoyo actually created her own publishing house. Wow!💪🏾

Just earned a new Emeritus credential via @Accredible for https://t.co/vLKzipZfNP via @accredible

A truly illuminating and eye-opening course! The "Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality" course at MIT xPro was intense and exciting and am thrilled! 3D VR Dante, here I come!

@AdhiamboKE Oooph!

[Paradiso 10.1-21. Best with VR headset or glasses.]

With me, then, reader, raise your eyes
up to the lofty wheels, directly to that part
where the one motion and the other intersect,
and from that point begin to gaze in rapture
at the Master's work.

A Life - Dante's Itinerary

Draft of key destinations. 3D VR itinerary (proof of concept) - 3D video requires basic VR headset for immersive experience.

@UBGK12 @AdhiamboKE Dude, you can't just gaslight your way out of publicly indulging your white-supremacist anti-blackness by suggesting that your post was 'just a joke'. Like @AdhiamboKE suggested: Take responsibility and own your sh*t.

[Adoyo CA @AdoyoCA]

@erik_kaars Fantastic thread! Thank you. 💝

[Adoyo CA @AdoyoCA]

@ISASaxonists So I read some of the comments and I really need not have worried... the 'narrator' has to be doing this on purpose... ERRRRbody heard what I heard....😅

[Adoyo CA @AdoyoCA]

@ISASaxonists OMG! Glad to see that I wasn't the only one averting my ears, thinking "methinks I should not be hearing this... am I intruding... inadvertently eavesdropping..." phew! the intensity of it ... the intimacy... dang...

[Adoyo CA @AdoyoCA]

What exactly does the term "woke" mean? My sister just articulated the most brilliantly succinct definition I have heard so far:

"'woke' (adj.) — ethical awareness characterized by empathy on all matters related to justice."

Thank you, Gracie!

We talk about what we want to see. Our stories, told by us. A break from Black trauma. Well, here it is. Black director, screenwriter, & lead. A story about a forgotten virtuoso of the African diaspora. Go see @ChevalierMovie this weekend! #ChevalierMovie
