    Similar experience at Columbia University. I was told by a professor to change my major because I could not write. I proved him wrong with eight books and a doctorate later. And now a National Outstanding Book Award for Falling Bedrooms from NABJ.

    There are so many teachers that have reached into our own pockets so that our students can eat. What happened to kindness and compassion we speak so much about?

    They are. My Goldens have resorted to drama costumes! And they’re not always “feeling’ it.”

    We can change our future, but we must act now. Wash our hands, quarantine, social distance. Go home. Stay home. And tell those young people of spring break, Get Inside Now. Our communities depend on it. We are more interconnected than you think!

    I was told in front of the class I could not write and to change my major. A dissertation and 8 books later, they were so wrong. - The South of Black Forgiveness on amazon.com I write in the genre of fiction because our pain is too real.

    It is not a yay moment. We still have dead children killed by police.
