Last night I had a blast at @rhonsewell 60th Birthday bash. This video doesn’t give justice to the amazing vibes and all the wonderful people who came out to celebrate this powerhouse of a woman. It is very clear that Rhonda is loved by many people for many things but what rings the truest is her genuine heart and love for others- backed by action. I am grateful to know you Rhonda and I wish you many more spins around the sun! Happy 60th! It only gets better from here. 😘❤️😘#60th #60thbirthday #rhondasewell #toledo

moments away - here in LA - to speak with Director Rhonda Sewell during The Association of Ethnic Studies Opening Reception. As a proud alumnus of Howard University only the most impactful work could tear me away from celebrating my alma mater's Homecoming (and my 10th year since graduating - the young bul is a full fledge BISON now 🤣) Deeply moved to be here to learn, share, and sow. Thanks to @ravikperry @rhonsewell @ethnicstudiesla

📢 Los Angeles, here we come!

I’m excited to attend the Association for Ethnic Studies’ (AES) 54th Annual Conference this week, October 15–17, hosted by the College of Ethnic Studies at California State University, Los Angeles @ethnicstudiesla 📍 @calstatela

This year’s theme, “For the People: A Loving Defense for Ethnic Studies,” is especially meaningful and important right now. I’m looking forward to being in community with friends, family, and colleagues committed to amplifying the power of collaborative research and community engagement while honoring the rich tapestry of ethnic communities within and beyond the U.S.

A few highlights from the program:

✅ An opening reception featuring an art conversation with Ryan Jamaal Swain @ryanjamaalswain, actor and activist from FX’s Pose, and Rhonda Sewell @rhonsewell of the Toledo Museum of Art @toledomuseum.

✅ Live Jazz from the Rumi Inoue Jazz Collective and Salsa with Cal State LA’s Afro Latin Salsa Club @afrolatin.salsa.csula.

✅ The 8th House Healing Justice Space & Integration Lounge, offering space for collective care, reflection, and rest.

✅ Plus a full schedule of plenaries and concurrent scholarly sessions.

There’s so much to look forward to: sharing ideas, making connections, and spending time with people whose work keeps our communities’ histories, experiences, and possibilities at the center.
