Since defending, I’ve noticed 2 things re: how music fills my life. 1) I wake up & put on music like I used to do (the baby no longer takes a post-breakfast nap so we jam out together), & 2) the kinds of music I listen to has changed (no longer primarily “music to write/focus”).
This is one of my favorite pictures from this past weekend. It pictures just some of the people who have loved me, inspired me, supported me, and cheered for me throughout this journey. Community is everything, and mine is specially beautiful 🥰.
Currently watching two of my @dslprojects kinfolk defend their dissertations. Congratulations to @BlkDiaspoRican & @CedenoKiana 🌊 I am so proud of y’all!

There’ve been several coyote sightings where I live, each time I hear it, I pray a little harder that they continue to be free, & enjoy the shocked look on folks faces when they realize I’m on the side of the coyotes. Coyotes will win, growth centered dev will crumble…so be it!
My comrade gifted me an Oshun emblem from her last trip to Brazil, she shared Oshun deep connection to water…how timely, literal flood waters have been following me from ATL to Winona to Newark, & I can’t yet vocalize all that it means, but I’m grateful for the connection.

Today, I successfully defended my dissertation, “What the Dead Witnessed: Clearing Black Knowledges in Jim Crow South Carolina.” This wouldn’t have happened without the support of advisors, family, friends, fellow travelers and thinkers, my cats, and Conjure.
This week, I sent the last of my chapters to my advisor. Hard to wrap my mind around the fact that a draft of my dissertation exists. Years ago, I searched for a book about a specific moment of Black 🇵🇷 history that didn’t yet exist. Now, I’ve written the first draft of it.
was reminded yesterday by @hystericalblkns to read john keene’s _counternarratives_ and that’s what i did this morning.
I was invited to give a talk at a rich school, who wanted me to pay for my travel & hotel & they would reimburse me later. I said no & called it unethical. They just alerted me that they changed this policy going forward! I don’t just speak up for me but for others as well! 👇🏿
