In light of the news that KEVIN PLANK will leave the fate of 100s of acres of undeveloped land at BALTIMORE PENINSULA in the hands of an Arkansas bank, here is a 2021 "we told you so" commentary from two city activists. https://t.co/wo6NP5cxBG

This is where I lose it. I don’t have words for what these women and their work means to me, how it has formed and continues to form me. I hope they run into each other’s arms when they reunite. 🕊️

"I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure, but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try."

Rest In Peace Nikki Giovanni ❤️

i’m also very thankful for my friend and colleague, @TeachingBoi ,who was alongside the entire journey with her guide for R&J. The Baltimore City College is the only school in the U.S. with two teachers writing the guides! #cityforever

Sad to hear the Crystal City shops are closing down. Had a lot of fun the few times I went there, especially at the Borders.
