Today, a student of color asked me how he can support me as a faculty of color. It’s the first time a student has ever asked me that, and it blew my mind. It felt so refreshing to be seen in this way and served as a reminder that I’m not alone.

“The affirmative action of generational wealth.” Yesssss Michelle!!!!

Working as an associate editor on this journal under the leadership of @doctorkag was one of the best career decisions ever. This journal is author-friendly and values care and constructive feedback in the publishing process. Consider applying!

link.springer.com/referencew… It’s published!! One of the hardest pieces to write made so much better with awesome collaborators, Chris, @TerahJay & @Erin_Moniq. Grateful to the student activists who continue to hold us accountable for living our equity and justice values. ✊🏾

If one more white person who after doing racist ish says, “I don’t have a racist bone in my body…” 1. Why bones? Bones can’t be racist. 🙄 2. Yes you do. 3. When people show you who they are, believe them. The End.

This is what it means to do meaningful work in academia. It’s not about chasing pubs, but rather taking time to carefully do work that makes a difference and centers those “on the margins of the margins,” to quote @TerahJay. Ecstatic to see this piece in @JDHEtweets!

Inbox is at 1 for the first time in I can’t even tell you how long. If you need to email me, do so at quaye.13@donotreply.com 🤣

So much relief. And I also wish we didn’t hang so much of our hopes on a very broken, racist justice system. So much work to do.

Shout out to @AshePresident @DrDLStewart for asking me to moderate what is sure to be a powerful first webinar this Thursday @ 1 pm EDT. Free for @ASHEoffice members and $10 for non-members. Grateful to @DrTobyJenkins @dredomingue @areynarivarola & Dan Darkow for saying "yes"!

There are so many triggering, angering aspects of the trial of George Floyd’s murderer, but seeing this white man lawyer mansplain this firefighter’s job to her takes the cake for today. I need to step away to protect my peace. 😔

Rest in power, Breonna. ✊🏾🖤

Happy @BarackObama Day!

The calm and relief pulsating through my body today is healing. First @PressSec briefing was so refreshingly mundane, which made it exhilarating. Facts. Answers. Non-gaslighting. Courtesy. Respect. Non-antagonistic. What a breath of fresh air. I see you @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris ✊🏾

Imagine if these “protestors” were Black...

Faculty colleagues, asking for 5 LOR is an unnecessary gatekeeping mechanism. Why 5? How many applicants can garner 5 strong letters from 5 different people? Also, do we need actual letters at this point in the process? Wouldn't a chat via a reference call suffice?

A reminder of how proud I am of this piece!

Happening today!

Hope you will join @LoriPattonDavis @OSUehe @OSUEdStudies for the 1st of 4 conversations in this series, geared toward addressing white supremacy and anti-Blackness w/ @DrVEvansWinters @DrLaGarrettKing & @TerahJay next Wed. 7/8/20!

I love that the APA manual includes examples from Beyoncé, Childish Gambino & Kendrick Lamar alongside Beethoven as examples of how to include songs in the ref list. #IFeelSoSeen @APA_Style
