We presented to a full house and connected with a number of educators interested in bringing hip hop into their classroom. I consider that a great #NCSS2024 🙌🏽

I wrote a thing and people thought I should be recognized for it 😂

This award and the work it’s about isn’t about me…it’s about everyone who sees themselves in the work. From the ratchet girls to the yns, this work is for you. May you forever know the brilliance you embody.

Let's do a #facecard for all the educators - outside of your job plz and include one fun fact about you. I'll start.

I garden year round in my backyard & I have a goal to grow all the vegetables my family eats for an entire year.

I’m so excited that The Theory-Story Reader for Social Studies, edited by @brettonvarga.bsky.social and Erin Adams, is out! In my chapter I introduce trap critical theory as a way to honor trap epistemologies in classroom spaces
