It was a thrill to have worked with my friend Floyd Cooper, I will always be grateful to @YoseConservancy and my agent @nicole_geiger @FullCircleLit to forge that partnership, how exciting 2 continue the celebration of children and nature on #FloydCooperDay.

I am thoroughly enjoying #kweli22Virtual @kwelijournal. These Masterclasses are a game changer.

@hamil_william I am praying @hamil_William.

Please pray for me, the loss of my wife of 26 years is taking a toll on me. Can anyone do that for me????

What a thrill to participate in the @kwelijournal conference#Kweli22Virtual. The Friday session with renowned author Carol Weatherford@poetweatherford was pure inspiration. So excited about this weekend.

@blackarchivesco Roller skating in the 1960s. Something many of us still remember ☺️. The photographs from @blackarchivesco are so vibrant and they display the sheer humanity of our lives.

Thank you @NYBG for incorporating "Where's Rodney" into its #BlackHistoryMonth children's educational programming last month.

What a joy, and privilege, being a guest on @KutBlack with host @JohnEDee989 recently to discuss "Where's Rodney?" and the importance of exposing children to nature and to parks large and small.

@ayawrites @KidlitInColor Yes @ayawrites it is so important and affirming! Just imagine how you would have felt having this experience as 5, 8, or 10 year old! Positive representation is everything!
