What People Are Saying

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.

Reflection Retreats


The majority of you have suggested that you would participate in a
reflection retreat.

After giving it some thought, here is a draft of an agenda. I envision that
5 or 6 of us would have a retreat on the 4th Saturday in October,
November,
and share back via phone/e-mail.

REFLECTION ’08
10am Breakfast, Coffee, Bagels, Juice

10:30am Introduction Stating Purpose of Retreat

10:35am Watch Clip of Byron Hurts Beyond Beats and Rhymes

11:00am Bathroom Break

11:10am Reflection on video, break out groups

12:00am Lunch, Pizza, Soda

12:30pm Discussion on another topic

1pm End

Is it really obvious that I have done logistics for a living?

Lets have discussion on the pre-work (money, location, dvd player,
obtaining copies of Byron’s film, finding young people)
that will go into making this happen.

T-Rose sent me this fresh education guide for “Beyond Beats and Rhymes”
that I will be a great tool for us to use.

    i’m a bit too far to attend. i just got something in the mail from NYU about a symposium they’re having about Slavery in October. lots of heavy hitters will be there…i wish i could be EVERYWHERE but plane tickets are crazy.

    i could, perhaps, recreate this in my classroom depending on how i can tie it into the content. holla.
