Taught my last class of the semester today!

My two day vacation is over. Back to work.

Had a lovely and fancy Thanksgiving with friends in Durham. My first Thanksgiving without my family or my partner's family in 20 years.

Iyanla Vanzant gave an inspirational talk at Bennett using Whitney Houston's song "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" as the base of her lecture. Take away - Be grateful that you made it through your hard-life story. So many didn't make it through.

I finally saw PRECIOUS. And can join the discussion about the film. Your thoughts?

Is Wikipedia really for everyone?

My students are creating or updating Wikipedia pages about black women feature film directors for their assignment next week.

Still loving that extra hour.

I'm looking forward to that extra hour.

What a lovely evening! E. Patrick Johnson's one man show, "Pouring Tea: Black Gay Men of the South Tell Their Tales" and dinner with friends in Durham.

In Chicago for my little sister's wedding! Looking forward to a lovely weekend with family and friends.

Just back from attending a powerful meeting at North Carolina A&T University about News in the 21st Century and HBCUs sponsored by The Institute for Advanced Journalism Studies.

Starting my second Final Cut Pro editing class tonight at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke.

I can't believe I am still grading mid-terms. Grades are due at the Registrar's office tomorrow...

Finally, a Saturday when I was able to sleep in. :-).

B.R.I.D.E., the LGBT group on campus that I advise, will be receiving a $2,000 grant today from the Guildford Green Foundation for our first LGBT Forum Series at Bennett College for Women!
