What People Are Saying

OMG… this is a brilliant blog, Renina!!! I think we
disagree, alot; but, your thinking is tour de force
thinking!!!!
-Alex l NYC

Renina continues to
challenge herself and
give these types of
conversations a platform
away from the classroom.
i also think she grapples
with a lot of ideas and
i love that she’s not afraid
to put that work on display.
i’m thankful.

I’ve read your blog for a long time and this is
my first time responding. You give me reason
to think and improve upon myself and others.
Thank you.
