AIDA - at the Opéra national de Paris with the staging by the great artist, Shirin Neshat

I had the privilege of attending the Paris Opéra production of Verdi's Aida. At the center of the story is Aida, the enslaved Ethiopian woman & Neshat makes it unfold like an eloquent, deeply resonant poem.

I was honored to have been invited to participate in a workshop to present @natboundunbound.bsky.social The workshop was convened by Schmidt Sciences at the Sorbonne in Paris, France.

Visited the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel. Dr. King’s last speech, supporting Black sanitation workers, still echoes:
“All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity.”
In a time of attacks on truth and justice, the Museum’s work is more vital than ever.

I returned to the University of Michigan Law School this past week and reflected on the trajectory of my life’s work and the enduring influence of the law—particularly my time as a student at Michigan Law.

My education in law school was interrupted but this opportunity allowed me to let that go.

Remembering my grandfather’s birthday today, the man that survived an Indian boarding school and I know would stand beside me today in my work to tell our stories, centering social justice and fighting for equity.
