This 4th I can't help but be reminded by Paulo Freire's work.
We should be reminded that one of the only requirements for the violation of a person or group of people is to dehumanize them, which means nobody is human. Even those who have internalized the oppressor's beliefs.

The NEH released its Public Scholars award last month.
Notice the mention of how ideals of democracy have consistently been met, while we have oligarchs running the show, and the emphasis on only economic freedom while the rich take away medical care & cut taxes on themselves.

I’ve never truly felt like I belonged. On trips or in familiar cities, I still felt out of place. In Spain, that changed; it became home.
Fulbright made that possible. It is more than an award. With it under attack, I’m sharing my story. Want to read more? Check out the link ⬇️

Though Spain will always be special to me for the time we lived there, Ireland will also always have a piece of my heart 😍

If so, please consider taking my friend's survey. He's 20 folks shy of getting all the days he needs for his dissertation.

A poem I wrote in 2018 for Mother's Day. Still relevant today.

Here's a photo of the people who paved the way, and for whom I try to pave the way—my kids, my mom, & both of my grandmothers.
