Last night was a turning point in my Teaching Journey. My first cohort of MA students presented their research and blew me away. Then they thanked me at the end and I sobbed afterwards. I know I’m on the correct path #firstgenscholars #teachingteachers @sdsucoe

Thrilled to have both incoming and former #GenerationGlobal teacher candidates from @sdsucoe working with Assistant Prof @mwritenow. Today- we engaged in a writing marathon via multiple South Bay community locations, noticing and wondering about- the places our Ss call home.

Preparing for the writing marathon next week at Cuentos. Mapping spaces in the borderlands. Friendship park is closed permanently this is as far as we can go. Writing prompt for this space has to be about barriers and borders and closing off friendship…loss #WritingCommmunity

Reflecting on family and loss and the complications that come with both. Both missing and feeling angry with my dad and feeling conflicted as I visit the many places my roots have been planted and pulled uprooted and moved. #community #family #ancestors #roots #heartache
