i’ve seen soccer moms dragged out of school board meetings, our elected representatives can show 5% of that kind of courage. give me SOMETHING.

haha last time i heard a screaming crowd of lunatics chanting USA! USA! at the US capitol they were in their way to break in and try to lynch members of congress, whatever.

Instead, I encountered Dr Giovanni as a unapologetically queer, Appalachian, womanist professor and poet who taught her students that our collective stories and identities are a gift. She comforted and convicted so many Hokies - myself included.

Thank you, Dr Giovanni.
