Tomorrow I will be singing with my choir, The Heritage Gospel Chorale of Pittsburgh, under the direction of my dear friend, and mentor, founder Dr. Herbert V.R.P. Jones at Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church at 4 pm until 5 pm. I would love to see you there!
Truly honored to sing for such a crew of dedicated activists! Any chance I get to sing Cross Current’s “If Men Could Get Pregnant” with Ginny & Renee, to ppl dedicated to bodily autonomy it’s a blessed day! Thanks to 50501 Pgh, Together for Trans Youth, Pgh Healthcare Workers Scientists Scholars!
Historian here. What have I been doing over my sabbatical besides meeting multiple commitments? Getting started on the new book on feminism. Here is a preview from Ms. Magazine which I read as a young girl in India. Big Gloria Steinem fan here! msmagazine.com/2026/04/02/t...
A reminder that there is a universe where Weather Report is featured heavily on the weather channel and their concept of weather channel jazz is radically different

It's freezing out and it's Super Bowl Sunday, but we turned out to yell at ICE.
A cold, sunny day in Pittsburgh on the South Side. A crowd is marching from the ICE building back to the Hot Iron Bridge. It's a long line of people turning a corner. We're chanting NO ICE, NO KKK, NO FASCIST USA.
Oh wow, I’m so sorry I missed you! You should’ve texted me!
