No Office Hours Live at Kitchen Table History this week. I am so sorry y’all, I tried to rally, but I’m traveling tomorrow to James Madison University to deliver the keynote lecture at their African, African American, and African Diaspora Studies Center annual conference and the house is still a whirlwind. I am taking today to get things settled and rest a bit before I go.
Yesterday and today have been packed with meetings, teaching, getting ready to go (which means making sure the #SkyBabies are situated), and preparing remarks. I want a nap more than anything else, but I’m also so excited to hear what these young scholars are working on!! Shout out to Dr. Whitney Battle-Baptiste who is organizing a workshop that I’m excited to attend!
And next week, I’ll be hanging out with Kinfolk Tech, chatting Haiti/Ayiti’s legacy of radical resistance to empire.
Last week’s Office Hours was live only, no video or audio shared yet. If you popped in you know why. Still deciding if sharing makes sense—that’s the thing about the hot take life. Saying things in the moment might feel good and right, but reflection and time always give a different perspective. But we can talk about it on the next Office Hours live. Maybe you’ll change my mind.
In the meantime, enjoy the previous week’s Office Hours or catch up on the first and second “Stitch Open My Eyes” offering, all below. Third Offering is coming, probably nearer the end of the week.
Whew — Groceries and coffee crew: I see you and appreciate you. There’s a video in the Office Hours post below just for y’all.
More is coming this calendar year. Be safe out there!
