I’ve been working on a site that’s quite different from this site. Getsick.net and myishacherry.com has for the last 5 years been a place for me to talk about the arts, culture, and interesting things that occur in my life relating to the two.

But myishacherry.org is strictly business, my academic business. There you find my post on issues of race, class, gender, political philosophy, and ethics. You will also get a greater perspective as me as teacher and budding scholar. Hopefully you will find it resourceful.

I will still be updating this site, but I invite you to join me at an additional place each day. Thanks.

Texting While Walking

This is hilarious and true. Texting while walking is something we all do… But need to stop doing before we die.

Casey Neistat explores more of this at the New York Times. Great Video!

Gallery of women writers of African Descent

I went to an amazing gallery in my neighborhood of bedstuy a few days ago. Brooklyn photographer Laylah Amatullah Barrayn has an exhibit at the Skylight gallery with women writers such as Jessica Care Moore, Susan Taylor, Sonia Sanchez, and many others. The exhibit runs until March 31 and The Daily News did a cool article on the show for more info. It’s inspirational and simply marvelous so please take a trip.

Before I Die…

While hanging out in downtown Brooklyn yesterday, I came across this awesome community art project called “before I die”. The creators simply provided a wall and some chalk and participants answered the existential question with heart, honest, and creativity. It was amazing to participant in and also to read.
