This week got ahead of me with all the traveling I am currently doing, so we’ll continue with the next episode of “Beyond Hyphenation: A Deep History of Diasporas” next week.
For now, I leave you with a poem and a video.
(at saint mary’s) "may the tide that is entering even now the lip of our understanding carry you out beyond the face of fear may you kiss the wind then turn from it certain that it will love your back may you open your eyes to water water waving forever and may you in your innocence sail through this to that”

This is my current view of the Ocean. Thinking of all of you, but don’t worry we’ll be back to the mystery of the boat on the Lagos dock next week. Not sure what I’m talking about? Catch up on past episodes of “Beyond Hyphenation” here:
