What an honor to spend time with Dr. Janice Johnson Dias, the mother of Marley Dias, backstage at the UNCF #MLK event. She's amazing. A professor at John Jay College, she told me Marley is going to Jamaica to drop off books. I'm donating my #autism children's books to support her efforts.

Today was a dream come true. I can’t thank Dr. Janice Johnson Dias and GCF enough for sharing our mission with Jacqueline Woodson who has spent this week sharing beautiful stories with children. Spending the day with students in Clarendon was magic. The world belongs to us indeed ❤️📚🇯🇲

It started last night. The Community Research Fellows Training program is happening simultaneously in three cities: NYC, STL, & Clinton, MS. This is a large-scale coordinated effort to increase research literacy and enhance the infrastructure for community-academic partnerships

White folks when Black folks invite you to come to their events, PLEASE DRESS UP!! Its disrespectful to wear jeans and a tee.
