Loved watching Citrus get the W. Go Owls! A couple of players who coached Peanut in summer basketball camp came to his game earlier in the day. Of course, he wanted to show up for his coaches that nt. The kids are alright. ❤️🦉

❄️ On a frigid Weds nt, brave service-learning marketing students visited Lopez Urban Farm in Pomona. They asked Farmer Stephen why he kept Bodega Comunitaria open that eve when he could have canceled due to weather. “…consistency. We said we would be here for the community.” ❤️

🌎 The students in my Social Impact Marketing course inspire me. Their hearts, desire, and collective agency will change the world. Here they are, serving at Sowing Seeds for Life food bank + pantry in Pomona.

☀️ @CherpSolar in Pomona keeping it real. Doing much needed work. 1st nonprofit solar panel manufacturer. Excited my marketing students are working w/this partner in building community relationships.

Love this viewpoint of @calpolypomona’s old stables.

Opened class by asking about urban farming and food apartheid. New semester = new groups of @calpolypomona marketing students using their skills to advance and empower communities.

Ready to harvest! Pick your own produce on Saturdays at Lopez Urban Farm in Pomona. Pay what you can. Take what you need. All harvest supplies + instructions provided. Love this community partnership.

Serving together should remind us that we are interconnected, interdependent, and interrelated. This not only unites communities in this nation, but helps us to broaden our loyalty to include the #WorldHouse. #MLKDay23Chat #MLKDay @AmeriCorps @AmeriCorpsCEO @BerniceKing

A few student reflections from last term: We could be human and fail. It was okay to experiment while doing your best. I learned how to get a job, not just skills used on the job.

@tjwacker @michaelmiraflor Ditto. Proofs on the spot.

@michaelmiraflor I’ve had really good luck with Staples for printing needs on tight turnarounds.

I need 100 brochures designed (I’ll do this part myself) and printed by Monday AM. What is the best solutions stack to accomplish this? Canva + FedEx/Kinkos?

@chlacc Or you.

@chlacc Snoop.

@RyanWPRussell Oh noooooo.

Hell hath no fury like flight delays with two kids in tow. 👎 @SouthwestAir. The fighting employees were a good touch though.

Date night with my Big Kid. 💜💛#LakeShow

Always ask whose pockets you’re fattening through your work.

Scarf. Gloves too. That’s the color of my puffy jacket.

Thankful for parents who filled my plate (in many ways). Grateful for time with family today. Remembering the land, suffering, and greatness of Indigenous people. Thinking of our global family. We have many rivers to cross. May we learn to love well.

@NishaJerath @alanajoy Mmm hmm. With you.

@LCShah @alanajoy Because sometimes...same.
