At our @Wikipedia edit-a-thon @bishopmuseum last week, in celebration of #WeAreHereBook, our attendees created new articles about Charlene & Calvin Hoe, @sikhtoons, Palama Settlement & updated dozens more #AAPI articles with new information #BecauseOfHerStory

Excited for the upcoming TEDxJacksonville Annual Conference on Oct. 22? We are too – and that's why we wanted to share a #FlashBackFriday highlighting some of our favorite moments from last year's conference. We can't wait to see you next month!

The South Asian community in New York has been shaken by a string of hate crimes against Sikh men; three were attacked within 10 days on the same block. They were beaten and their turbans were ripped off.

In memory of my late brother-in-law’s birthday who loved capturing murals in cities, here is one for our troubled times from Seattle!

Three years ago today, I reached out to Vishavjit asking if he'd be interested in working together on a short animation about his life. Today, I'm excited to share two of the first completed clips. Thank you for your support! @studioshowoff @WildWildWestra @sikhtoons

I saw the book on the left at a bookstore and my brain read it as ‘If facts disappeared from the world’.
I happen to be reading the illustrated version of 1984 by George Orwell right now.
It is scary how many counter factual forces have gathered momentum from USA to Russia.
My salute to the unsung NYC Test & Trace Corps Empathy Warriors!

Passed @DeepakChopra near Union Square in NYC little while ago. We eyed each other. I noticed the passage of time on his countenance. Was reminded of how much I loved his last book Metahuman. Highly recommend reading it over spending time in the metaverse.
Thank you @NAEA for hosting me as one of your keynote speakers at your 2020 National Convention!
More power to art, teachers, storytelling & real honest conversations about our past & present.
As a logophile & bibliophile a big shoutout to @jsinghmlk on winning the first ever Jeopardy National College Championship!
