I don't see Cali on this list! *TRIPLE BACK FLIP*
See you on Wednesday, BELOVED NEW YORK CITY / GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD! coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-trave…
Time to shout out the team! Thank you everyone at NBF! Especially @annadobben for fearlessly navigating pandemic submissions and deliberations. @LOLBev for a BEAUTIFUL rollout. @meredithandrews for getting everything up online and out and many acts of heroism.
And @DhyanaTaylor, without her, nothing I do is possible. Nothing.
And, of course, thanks to the whole Team and our interns for pinch hitting on Awards when needed and being absolutely fucking amazing.
As the third-generation of Black women in my family to graduate from the University of Chicago... I can say with some pretty deep familiarity with the students, the culture and the curriculum: thank friggin' goodness.
Only glancingly related, but I will never ever ever forget that there were only 7 Black men (!) in a class of 1000 in the year 1997. Maybe 15 Black women? Trifling!
