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.
