Walk With Us: give this map to the children
http://walkwethus.blogspot.com/2014/08/give-this-map-to-children.html
Give this map to the children. So a family with five kids aged 4 or so to 12 moved in on the corner. I was walking by last week and called "Hey neighbors" and one of the little ones, a black-white pair, maybe 4 maybe 5, called out "We're not neighbors we're children.". Little boy one said a grey cat jumped right into his arms. Maybe cats will always like you," I said back. I don't know why. Something in me says of a family group like this give give give. Hmm Just now I thought Does she know who I am?

Walk With Us: Jobs in Triplicate
http://walkwethus.blogspot.com/2013/07/jobs-in-triplicate.html
I guess the other two like the idea of cash in their pocket and being able to help mom with school uniform costs and fees. Because Damear and Mahad have jobs now too. Lamarr called me last night on his very first phone, bought with his hard-earned dollars. Amazing. For book clubs and classroom discussion. The Walk with Us blog. It won an Indie Book Award. We may see a movie out of it yet. Ellen D can play me, I mean if she wants to. Excerpts from Walk with Us. Read at Boston's Community Change, Inc.

Walk With Us: Pi times five

English, and Mahddy's doing good in English while recovering from s broken growth plate in his knee. A football injury, it sidelines him for the wrestling season, which is a bummer since he loves wrestling and excels at it. Have to wait for next year. Big Jamarr and I talked a bunch about movies. I wish we could get back to our movie review blog. I'll campaign for it. Really enjoy his views on films. Here's the blog. For book clubs and classroom discussion. The Walk with Us blog. New book - Love Cohoes.

Walk With Us: The split picture
http://walkwethus.blogspot.com/2013/07/seeing-trayvon.html
And the white man that. He looked older, scarier. My joy at seeing them and my unconditional love were sullied. When he reached me, he said "Do you know how to skip? Watch, I'll teach you." And he skipped along the walkway, so cute, young really for 8. One of Lamarr's facebook photos. Little matter, any black is very black in some places, many places; and very black = bad and scary, violent, assumed guilty. More so than the average white 15 year old who grew up in urban America? I don't know if Trayvon w...

Walk With Us: Still walking
http://walkwethus.blogspot.com/2014/08/still-walking.html
After a recent visit to the family, little stories bubbled up. I realized, remembered, this blog. Maybe its the surface where the bubbles pop. So I resume. And I allow myself all topics loosely related to race, racial healing, and all the taking ourselves so seriously stuff. I allow myself 2) to take myself less seriously. Ok here's a little story I just told Kaki, Damear told me when I went down there to watch Dawn of the Planet etc. Damear has a medium? Serious girlfriend. Gabby. The Walk with Us blog.
