A warm welcome from students, faculty and staff at where I gave the annual Francis A. McAnaney lecture, “Steering by Story in Troubling Times.” I also got a chance to visit two seminars. One with Notre Dame students studying Haiti & the Dominican Republic. The other with Humanities students at the college as well as local high school students.

Also, I want to give a shoutout to in South Bend, founded by Kathy Burnette, a former school librarian and teacher, whose mission is to provide diverse literature to ensure kids and adults feel represented in the books they read. We popped in for a surprise visit. Check out her cool t-shirt!
Tonight, Kathy received a key to the city🔑 while hosting one of her favorite authors, Kwame Alexander, at a debut book tour event. A well-deserved honor that was so so special to see and celebrate.
If you're following this page, you have felt the impact of Kathy's tireless advocacy, her passion for creating safe spaces, for seeing people (especially kids) and connecting them with books in which they feel seen and valued, and literally opening doors/minds/ hearts of so many of us. Leave Kathy some thanks and praise below to show her what her work with the Brain Lair and beyond has meant for you. Let's continue to celebrate this South Bend treasure and community icon. Show her the love!!
