As I process my own grief, I’m aware that there is also inescapable collective grief happening around me, and that reality is further complicated by being Black in America.
On September 30, 2019, my wife and I became Angel Parents to a beautiful #BabyBaileyGirl named Kamaiu SOL.
With her relentless love, my wife and I created a toolkit that offers daily gentle reminders that help to develop new habits of mind.
However, during our pregnancy with Kamaiu, we started to record the SOL Affirmations album in hopes that, one day, our students and their families could experience it together.
He is the author of SOL Affirmations and co-founder and lead facilitator for BE-Imaginative, a transformative safe space lead by a collective of artists and activists dedicated to disrupting gun violence and healing Black and Brown communities through innovative multi-dimensional storytelling.
