My way of dealing with election eve anxiety - burying myself in 6 cds of Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks sessions and reading through his notebooks and the essays. I love @bobdylan bootleg series releases and this one I’ve been waiting a long time for

@nhannahjones I saw the book on middle class parents choosing Urban schools by @LinnPoseyMaddox that was briefly displayed in the video of your WPR piece. Truly a great piece of insightful thought. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Great piece on the role of Community Colleges like @tulsacc in advancing access to ALL Americans.

[The Century Foundation @TCFdotorg]

Community colleges educate the students who need the most support to succeed, but receive less funding than other colleges. https://t.co/7kBZ9dLhiL

Thank you @kanter for the great review!

Kia was amazing!

[SE Raleigh Promise @SERPromise]

Impactful conversation today on equity at the #PurposeBuiltCommunities2018 conference. SERP ED, Kia Baker asks, “How does your personal identity relate to power and opportunity? And how do you share access with others? How will you take or yield your personal power?”

Meet our @PurposeBuiltCS Equity Ambassadors! #PurposeBuilt2018

[Kirk Wester @kirkwester]

@MariaPEvans @PurposeBuiltCS I was also VERY appreciative of the feedback I recieved afterwards from two fellow Sojourners in the audience who saw my heart but gave me great insight as to how to communicate more effectively to a mixed audience in the future. We need more respectful dialogue like that.

[Kirk Wester @kirkwester]

What an amazing and humbling opportunity to speak at the #PurposeBuilt2018 conference as an Equity Ambassador. I am so fortunate to be associated with such an amazing group of professionals.

[Kirk Wester @kirkwester]

@MariaPEvans @PurposeBuiltCS Thank you @MariaPEvans . I am glad they were well recieved. These conversations are difficult as we all are in different places and trying to make a compelling case to such a varied audience made me very anxious.

[Kirk Wester @kirkwester]
