Keep knowing why you stand!
In a room where children confident and clear, soar and touch the eloquent world that emerges, there are melodies that mirror the skies eternity. They glow as if the love in us is singing to the love in us. They show happiness, glory, and beauty like the nectar of tea roses. We enter, knowing these…

Keep words and their meanings!
Some words leave you breathless. The idea of anything being described as pathological for one. Then there are words like disrespectful, unsolicited, insulting, accusing, and anything else that personifies negativity that would leave you wondering whether evil exists in anything that spews words in this way. I am in a phase of my life where…

Keep communities!
Let us talk about community, of how people meet. How meetings lead to community. Of how we loose all that matters, the meetings, the community, when we don’t meet. Meetings make communities. Then communities impact the world. I’m in a space where meetings with the right communities matter.

Keep unlearning learning!
The idea of unlearning intrigues me. Theories, methods, whose words, my words, how to unlearn learning agitates me. There are those who choose to remain as is. Choose their own perspectives or those of others as is. Yet, they forget, other perspectives exist. Those rarely discussed, rarely seen, rarely even known, exists. Yet there is…

Keep Father’s Day.
The thing about grace is that every time I remember our beginning, I remember angel, Muomamm. The names we gave to each other continues to lead our journey together. That angels will guide and protect us, those for whom he called his own. As complicated and intense saving lives maybe, as transformative, as insightful, as…

Keep Light Festival 2
We spoke to our inner selves today. In the middle of a festival for the public’s health by the public. There were stories of bravery, stories of change, stories of ovaries, stories of light. I left the day full. I imagine there will be moments like this in public health, moments where the source of…

Keep Belle’s depths with ease!
Only our memories will linger on, against the cobbled streets in the city of lights. And who can choose between there and here, between the depths of the past and the ease of now. Darkness every time will lose and who can choose between the joys of a future where Nkiruka or the hurdles of…

Keep being stars!
Tell them we stood like stars and dazzled and dazzled like stars within. But we never forget, and we keep the memories of a time something tried to dim our light. Yet still like stars, we dazzled. Right at the beginning of setting up one of my most significant research programs, an individual I entrusted…

Keep Light!
I made an investment today, for a future that once seemed impossible. My state of being and all that I hoped to become fundamentally changed with this investment. Possibilities of life, all of which that enable me to voice and imagine more than I can be, allowed me to make this investment fully. There will…

Keep simply being the best!
Thoughts of things simply the best come to mind on a day like today. I gave the lecture of my life, lead a program I truly love, sold our dreams to a funder, then played drums on old paint tubs with my kids. Life was indeed the best, better than I could ever imagine. Though…

Keep being STARS!
About 18 years ago, I started my first research experience as a Ronald McNair Scholar. I owe a lot to the McNair program, alongside the MHIRT program for instilling joy and love for research and the importance of diversifying research excellence among minoritized scholars. Today we started our @star4ph summer HIV research program. This one…
