UMBC’s Graduation…

26 May

“UMBC Stuff: 2006-2010.” I wrote that on a box the other day. Wasn’t til then that I finally realized it–my undergrad career is over. It’s a slightly sad admission to self. I fully intend to stay in touch w/ all my friends and professors, but I know that just as with high school, life and its assorted distractions, advances, and movements, will separate many of us. One thing’s for sure, though, I love my school. And I love the history I have there. The friends gained, the mistakes made…the growth. Maturity’s a continuous goal for me, but UMBC has helped so much in that pursuit.

Before this gets too mushy, I just want to thank all those who have called, emailed, and texted their congrats…as well as the assorted gifts people have so generously given. (If you get some mail with illegible doctor scrawl on it, it’s probably a thank you letter from me).

Here are a few pics from graduation. It’s been real BC.

RIP Dorothy Height

21 Apr

I’m a bit late, but I wanted to post NPR’s remembrance of the icon that was Dorothy Height. I know a lot of folk think we live in a post-racial society…that may or not be true, but wherever we are, we owe a lot of the progress to folks like Dorothy Height. It’s so easy to forget that our rights were bought with blood, tears, and toil. This is a great review of her life from NPR. RIP.
