I hadn't heard of Jane's Walk before, so I did a little research - it sounds so cool!
I love, love, love Kaitlyn Greenidge and was glad you shared her piece. The way she approaches writing as a craft and balances it with her life... I am in awe.
Also: shameless plug, but my school's Black History Month assembly is Black History in NYC-themed, and because our auditorium is under construction, it is available to stream! https://donorbox.org/events/735740/steps/choose_tickets I am obviously biased, but our assemblies are badass and the Black History Month one is always the best of the year. Check it out if you want!! The BSU has been working on this for months.
Last year I skipped work and attended like 3-4 Jane's Walks and it was just me and a bunch of 60 year olds and I had the time of my life. I am fully ready to retire.
Also - I will 100% stream your school's Black History Month assembly! I have very high expectations based on past stuff they've created that you've told me about and I feel like I won't be disappointed. Is it cool if I share that link more widely?
Of course!!! I'm excited to show the girls this performance and am really hoping some of the energy that builds in-house will still be palpable over Zoom or whatever!
I want to hear all the craziest questions from the NYC tour guide exam and also am so excited to get the deets for your Janes Walk!

And girl, sign me up for retirement with you.
So intrigued by the realistic day in the life Whitney exhibit and also having that song stuck in my head all day after the title of the post 😂
This song is literally always stuck in my head
It's so impossibly good. Have you seen the video of her performing it with Issa Rae? It's my favorite piece of media.
YES. That and the performance where her hair is tied together with her two dancers. Lives in my head rent free.
Omg HOW DID THEY CHOREOGRAPH THAT HAIR
Apparently it was a last minute thing too and I simply could never be that talented
