I've been working on writing curriculum the African American Literature class - to be piloted in the fall of 2010. I'm working on the black feminist unit, which is an amazing opportunity. I think of my mother often while working on this. Today we are filming a promotional video for students (and faculty) and I am ridiculously nervous. I'm also excited. I am reminded of the time I went with Ma and Pa to the live video taping of "Living with Cancer." I came down in what I thought was something reasonably nice. Papa probably remembers. Not suprisingly, she didn't entirely approve of my wardrobe chocie - I didn't change my outfit, and I think I look just fine on screen. I think today my wardrobe choice would meet approval. I'm wearing a top and a bracelet of Mama's, and some charming red earrings from Lucy.
