Happy Gullah Geechee Heritage Month and Hoodoo Heritage Month. Today is a good day to get into one of the many legacies the ancestors gifted to the Gullah Geechee—stories about the Flying Africans—folktales of spiritual comfort and resistance.

5/ Published a short piece for practitioners in which I discuss how we have seen before a version of the political moment we are in so it’s important to focus on serving Black learners and take to heart the lessons our ancestors have left for us to leave Black learners.
4/ Collaborated on a paper, “Evading Race: A Critical Race Analysis of Vocation/Career and Technical Education,” that calls out the blatant ways programs for some of the most vulnerable groups continue to ignore the importance of race in determining who needs crucial funding.
