My man cub marching in today’s homecoming parade!

Tonight’s reading for tomorrow’s seminar. One of the joys of teaching is getting to share things you know well with others who are reading them for the first time. Last week we read Gloria Anzaldúa. This week we read selections from “This Bridge Called My Back” and some Ana Castillo. And we still have two months to go! #chicanafeminism

One of those days.

Honored to share that Center Theater Group is sponsoring three free readings of my play the week of Veteran’s Day. Come hear RING OF RED at one of three libraries in LA. All readings begin at 6:00 Nov. 12, Tuesday Benjamin Franklin Library 2200 E. First St. LA 90033 Nov. 13, Wednesday Malabar Library 2801 Wabash Ave. LA 90033 Nov. 14, Thursday Robert Louis Stevenson Library 803 Spence St. LA 90023 Thanks to @jesus.of.east.la and @piratecork and the entire cast for making it happen. And to my partner in the arts Rose Portillo for her creative leadership. Don’t miss this community read of a community play about our history!

There was a time when I’d live stream presidential speeches at work because they could be important, or thoughtful, or inspirational, or all of the above. This was one of those times. It’s one of my favorite quotes about justice and history, and it’s in the face of a horrible mass murder. From the funeral for Rev. Clementa C. Pickney, killed along with eight of his parishioners at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. #leadership
