After the murder of George Floyd, the world has responded in an unprecedented wave of protests. My dad has lived through several massive surges of political fervor like the current one. These “surges” are often (but not always) accompanied by “consciousness raising.”

What does it mean to come to consciousness? My dad and I discuss how he came to consciousness amid a time of national upheaval.

The Memoir My Dad Wouldn't Write is a radically honest conversation between a daughter and her dad. My dad has had an incredible life as a poet, activist, professor, and cultural worker. He wouldn't write a memoir, so this series of conversations is partly that.

In 2016 I took a gamble on me.

After being signed to M.C. Hammer‘s record label, and releasing an album that DID NOT catapult me to fame and fortune, I went back to college and became a teacher.

My first job was as a high school English teacher in Memphis, Tennessee, and talk about trial by fire! That was 1998 and since then I have worked steadily at high schools, colleges, universities and even prisons!

But it wasn’t until 2016 that I realized that all THE OTHER gifts I share; the POETRY PERFORMANCE and READINGS, the LECTURES, TALKS, and PRESENTATIONS, the CURRICULUM WRITING, the ARTICLE WRITING, and now the RETREAT HOSTING and AIRBNB EXPERIENCE LEADING, should have a home.

Feminine Pronoun Consultants, LLC is that home.
