@queenie4rmnola I had my first Black English teacher in college. Dr. Cheryl Wall inspired me to get a PhD in English and today I teach a senior elective on Hurston. My 10th graders are reading Their Eyes Were Watching God and just read Robert Hayden’s poetry.

Black women have always stood in the gap for our communities, confronting power systems and fighting for the vulnerable when no one else dared to.

In honor of Renee and Alex and all of those who were murdered by the masked militarized heavily armed thugs of ICE - I've made The Maxi Hearts of Minneapolis.
The chunks are the hearts of Minneapolis. The base ice cream combines some favorite flavors of the immigrant community—coconut and passionfruit.
