Team meeting complete. EveryONE did eventually show and they put their nose to the grindstone and completed the year end review. Always important to do to see where we have come from and where we are going. I have always done this wherever I have worked. It is important to

@teemunro

Thinking Allowed - Walter Benjamin - a special programme on his work and influence - BBC Sounds. For those who want to understand him and especially his notion of the flaneur! Our lives intersected at Portbou, years apart, and with almost similar outcomes! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b0…

My experience was landing in Portbou in 1971 and moving from the student unrest especially in Paris....to the fascist Franco Spanish regime. Our first encounter, after making our way thru the border check...daunting, was the barb wire around the university in Madrid. After that

we were constantly followed in various cities and towns and were the objects of various attempts to get us to engage in anything illicit. Buying drugs, jewelry, false charges and fines for sitting on the grass and attempts to commandeer our passports. We made it out in

(She had dev’t related issues). He took it when it came to him, told his peers this is not okay, & took it to the office. When he was 11 I was called to see if he would ump a championship game( ⚾️ ) since no one else would for fear of the parents. I asked him. He said sure.

I said what about the parents? He said he would throw them out of the park. Now fast forward 13 years later, and looking at Xmas plans, after isolating for 4 months with his partner, and after visiting her parents, he said doing the smart thing meant not coming to see us and

More than excited to be amongst this illustrious cast. Brunilda, Tim, Fania. Our work (Symone) shows demonstrables ways of creating unique spaces, places and community for Black persons with a focus on economic justice. It is infused by a restorative pedagogy and practice that

It is less academic and more forged thru experience as has been my past 20 years focusing on restorative practices and the past 8 with Symone first as, College student and then as her mentor and partner in both of our work.

Threaded tweet starting with happy thoughts. Or #walkingwhilegetting 😡 Who remembers going to the Carpenters Union picnic as a youngster? &2 the ITU Xmas party where all children got a wrapped gift? And the year long strike at the 🌎 & Mail? Those were the haydays!

However there are still dreams...

Things always need to start somewhere!
