I spent some time in conversation with Editors Canada and the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) this afternoon. The EFA review of *Black Feminist Writing* captures the connection between self-care, collective care, and working in your purpose: blog.editors.ca/why-academic...

END OF SEMESTER POST: THE WORK IS THE WORK.
This fall was my first research leave in 21 years (THANK YOU GSU!!!). This semester took me back to the CAU Du Bois Legacy Project professorevans.net/du-bois and allowed me to amplify two legendary ATL colleagues (Professors Hilliard and Guy-Sheftall).

Honored to be in conversation tomorrow with THE Beverly Guy Sheftall! This talk is part of a week-long WORDS OF FIRE FELLOWSHIP that I’m working on to research efforts to preserve the Black feminist legacy of Dr. Guy-Sheftall at the Spelman College Women’s Research and Resources Center. WERK!
