Interests:
Interested in the concept and application of racial/ethnic socialization as a different lens to reappraise racial/ethnic tension and conflict as mountains worth climbing rather than as tsunamis to run from. Using play to touch hearts, change minds, stir souls. Oh and I want to have fun too.
