“I didn’t realize heaven was gonna look like this!”
“Listening to music with a cool breeze, planting seeds. This experience with Brian has made me more peaceful, graceful, & grateful.”
“I felt my circadian rhythm align with the pace & peace of nature. Active meditations, such as sitting at the table preparing moringa leaves for tea dehydration, reminded me of when I used to snap peas with my uncle. To hear wind chimes, good music, the natural elements of sun, clouds, breezes, fruit trees, plants, birds, insects, & leaves swaying, brought serenity & made me present, inspired, & less worried. I no longer felt like I was putting out many little fires. This is the feeling I seek out on little hikes & flashes in nature, but I realize now it is possible to live that existence.”
“I appreciate Brian’s intellect, curiosity, kindness, compassion, high ethic, & growth. Consistently offers insightful, new, & important directions pushing learning forward. Not afraid of difficult questions, & sensitive enough to pose them in the most productive ways. His rare work embodies intelligent scholarship, resourceful innovation, & work of good character, remaining in supportive awareness of others at all times. Invested in mutual participation & success, encouraging quieter people to speak up, he goes beyond intellectual maturity, demonstrating a remarkable sense of pragmatic justice.”
“Brian addresses serious problems in our world, including the need for more cultural connection between African-Americans & the African diaspora/continent, & more robust literacies to immerse us in language, culture, & history that foster positive self-identity. His work is extremely important, demonstrating scholarship & leadership. Without reservations, it is my great pleasure that his distinguished writing & intellectual voice will change the way we think about literacy for African-Americans.”
“Opened my eyes & inspired me to change my life.”
“Wake up & live, from planet earth.”
