I’m so honored & excited to be accepted as a post-doctoral fellow for the 2025-2026 Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis (RCHA) seminar on “Black Power and White Supremacy: The Cyclical Dialectics of Power!” Led by the amazing Dr Kimberly Butler & Dr Leslie Alexander! 💜

Yesterday was my hooding ceremony at @rutgersgsn.bsky.social! I will always look back at grad school as one of best times of my life. I got to work on Queer Newark, HAL, and most importantly meet some of the most brilliant, warm, funny, and supportive people in the world!! Love my RUN fam!! 💜🥳🥂

These are gifts I just got from one of my #publichistory students! One is an album from my favorite band (Sleater-Kinney) AND, most importantly, he gave me a USB drive that contains an archived version of the Queer Newark Oral History Project’s website so the government can’t ever erase it!! 🥹💜

I hope you will tune in THIS SUNDAY to @wdqsblazeradio for my interview with the incredible Dr. April Robinson AKA “April Dawn!” We talked about my work with Queer Newark and the Humanities Action Lab, LGBTQ+ rights, and Newark’s LGBTQ+ history. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
