I’ve experienced so many full-circle moments since returning to my home state to teach brilliant students at the University of Florida.
Today, my students learned about the Florida Photo News, which was the local press produced by and for our African American community in Palm Beach County.

I’m looking forward to visiting Philly this week to speak at the Kiyoshi Day Symposium. Kiyoshi was a pathfinder, steward, and liberator of information that marginalized communities used to empower themselves. His legacy is remarkably aligned with #communitymedia

And so it begins. Happy start of the Fall 2025 semester (with some local wisdom)! 🐊Highlight of the day: Discovering the UF Pan-Hellenic Council circle and reflecting on my family’s Divine 9 legacy. Also saw few other views that captured my attention during my post-lunch walk.
