For my students final they submit a playlist with 5 songs that I should listen to while grading their final paper. The playlist sets the vibe for how I engage the work & attempts to capture the nonwordness of thoughts, feelings, & arguments that our thinking often relies on.

You know what I loved deeply about bell hooks’ work? It was readable. You didn’t need a doctorate to have it penetrate the deepest crevices of your heart. That’s the type of work I want to put out in the world.

bell hooks has been a gift for our universe. 💗

[Cornel West @CornelWest]

This sad season of massive deaths is nearly killing me! From my precious Mom to five eulogies in one week, and now my very dear sister bell hooks! She was an intellectual giant, spiritual genius & freest of persons! We shall never forget her!

[Dr. Kristy De La Cruz @KristyDeLaCru15]

One of my favorite questions to ask, “What brings you joy?” This school leader shared her joy in the love of reading and learning at her school through a school-wide reading challenge. Another joy is the opportunity to ensure that every child receives a gift. ❤️ #D4Strong

Two boys raised in working-class families in Brooklyn and Queens.

Two boys educated in New York City public schools.

Two boys who made it and are ready to make sure every kid gets the education that will let them succeed too.

From personal tragedies, future NYC Mayor Eric Adams learned the importance of being a healthy food role model for young people & all New Yorkers!

[Eric Adams @BKBoroHall]

After I reversed my Type 2 diabetes by embracing a whole food plant-based diet, I knew that better health was possible for growing Brooklynites, such as this young man, who warmly welcomed me to his school, Gravesend's PS 216 Arturo Toscanini’s Edible Schoolyard.
