Toronto, we did it for you!

I had a grand time chatting with Micaella and Christian about our city and its deep relationship to ball last week.

🧵 By co-curating HOME GAME, our work continues to connect the dots.

Read on, I have a public talk to invite you to:

Many blessing onto you, brother. Thank you for your service. Your next challenge will be amazing #COYS

🧵 PART V – "THE CURATOR"

Toronto, please accept this gift – to treasure for years to come.

In collaboration with the Museum of Toronto, I have had the privilege to co-curate "Home Game: Toronto Loves Basketball," a new exhibition tracing Toronto's deep connection to basketball!

"THE CONTRIBUTOR"

Good work is coming to fruition.

I have contributed an essay to this wonderful compendium, "Messy Cities: Why We Can't Plan Everything" – which will be published by Coach House Books on June 3!

“THE READER”
Whoa! I've been named a Reader for the 2025 CBC Nonfiction Prize! For those who are wondering, every year, CBC Books enlists the help of established writers and editors to read thousands of entries submitted to their prizes. Yes, thousands (we have work to do)!

Many thanks to the Burlington Public Library central branch for providing the space for me to go off on tangents, to the visitors for bending their ears, and to those who praised the book, and are recommending it word of mouth.
The future is people-powered.✌🏾

I would call this a clarifying conversation, speaking with a small crowd, in contrast to the NFL’s big party — which had a record-breaking audience, roughly the population of Japan!

🧵 Part II - “INTERVIEWEE”
In the shadow of the Super Bowl, it’s always a pleasure to sit down and discuss my first book, Rebound: Sports, Community, and the Inclusive City — with folks who are curious about its ethos and motivated to think about bringing better ideas to the public good.
