I just returned from Darfur where I heard horrific stories of the violence communities have endured, even within medical facilities.⬇️

Charlot Jeudy, militant LGBTI le plus mobilisé d'Haïti, a été tué hier. Les circonstances de ce meurtre sont encore floues mais c'est une terrible nouvelle pour la communauté et plus largement pour les défenseurs des droits humains dans le pays. #Haiti #LGBTQI 🏳️‍🌈

It's #BlackHistoryMonth, and someone emailed me about the BlackDesiSecretHistory.org website, and why South Asian Americans owe a debt of gratitude to African American activism. Here's the truth: without the Civil Rights movement, South Asian America as we know it might not exist.

I'll never tire of reminding people that "Hillbilly Elegy" is a book about Appalachia written by a venture capitalist who is not from Appalachia.

Another thought/concern around #BuildBPS: The obvious lack of proximity between budget/planning people and school communities. Prior to being told we were closing, I had never seen a single one of yet decision makers in my classroom.

Dear news outlets, you want to do something radical and powerful? Next white house press event with the president, only send your Black woman reporters. #IfYouHaveAny

3.5 years of #BuildBPS planning, & the most nuanced plan they could devise for @McCormackMiddle was 1)dismantle community 2)Send students to a school already navigating big challenges 3)Send students to a school without appropriate programming? Hope this wasn’t a full-time job!


WE'RE GOING UP!!!!!!!!! #ffc


WEMBLEYYYYYYYYYY!!!! #ffc
