Watching the series “Invasion.” Aliens are destroying the world…but the main characters are mostly preoccupied with their relationships problems. You find yourself going along with it, sitting through long, drawn out scenes, but then you’re, like, ….wait, what is wrong with you people?

You can learn a lot by observing how MacKenzie Scott evolved and comparing it to how her ex did.
MacKenzie Scott was taught and mentored by Toni Morrison, who was her professor at Princeton.
Mentoring matters! It is some of the most important work that we do. #ProfessorLife

Eugene Williams' memorial service was yesterday. Hundreds of people turned out to pay their respect. Speakers told stories, showing his many sides — activist, advocate, entrepreneur, husband, father, friend. We learned of his courage, generosity, determination, warm, & love. A truly great life.
This is very sad news. Eugene was a Charlottesville icon. Civil rights organizer. (He led he fight to desegregate the schools.) Affordable-housing innovator. Exceedingly generous to all with his time and, to the poor, his money. Successful businessman. A kind, loving man. We'll miss him terribly.
Eugene Williams, the local civil rights leader and affordable housing advocate, has died at 97. One of the last cover stories in The Hook was about Eugene Williams and his experience growing up in Jim Crow Charlottesville.
