So this is what a Full Professor looks like. Excited to share that I've been promoted to Full Professor during an otherwise hellacious academic year. Grateful to my village!

So far, 2026 has been a big year for movies. There’s been the success of horror films like "Backrooms" and "Obsession." There are movies that have been targeted by the culture wars, like "The Odyssey." And there are the smaller films that have gotten critical acclaim like "Camp" and "Is God Is."
This hour on #DisruptedCT, we’re talking about the year in film for our fourth annual summer movie panel. bit.ly/4yHjbDs

As we enter this holiday season, normalize helping people without having to show the people you helped. Every act of giving should be rooted in affirming the dignity and worth of those who receive. ❤️
Honored to receive the 2025 Distinguished Educator Award from the Connecticut Sections of the National Council of Negro Women. May the legacy of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune continue to shape our path. @NCNWHQ

This hour on #DisruptedCT, from COVID-19 to protests to legal battles with the federal government, college and university leaders have been in the spotlight a lot in the last five years. Because of that attention, if we want to understand the news, we need to understand higher education. ctpublic.org/show/disrupted/…
Our hearts are broken. Michael D'Angelo Archer inspired so many Virginians to embrace art as a way of knowing and connecting. Prayers for his family especially his son Michael Jr. Rest in Power to Virginia's Native Son #2Up2Down #Virginia #RIPDAngelo
