Honored to see my memoir, The Mixed Marriage Project, named as an Editors’ Choice in Sunday’s @nytimesbooks Review!

When I won a Philadelphia Public School Black History oration contest at the age of 17, it opened a door to possibilities I did not know existed — and thanks to an internship with Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco, my career in public service was launched.    That profound impact was something I wanted to pass on to the young people of this City when I envisioned our annual One Philly Black History Oratorical Showcase — where we celebrated civic engagement, student excellence, and uplift the voices of our young people, giving them a platform to empower and express themselves. To all the participants — I am beyond proud of you. You showed courage, discipline and confidence to step forward, to prepare, and to use your voice. We’re #ONEPHILLY, and that means opening doors and creating opportunities for all to have. We see you. We believe in you. And we support you!   Thank you to the @PHLschools, our participating charter schools, — the team at the @EducationPHL and everyone behind the scenes — for turning this vision into reality.

"Black History Month can be celebrated while classroom practices perpetuating anti-Black ideology exist. The question before us is whether we are prepared to defend and deepen Black intellectual traditions." -@Teacherishx / Abigail Henry @CenterBlackEd phillys7thward.org/2026/02/philly…
