Kamala Harris! What a great day! I am beaming with joy. This is so great. Now, rather than just celebrate, I thought I could also share something I learned today, that I didn't realize was a thing. Well, it's a social media movement, a hashtag (or a few), and it's based around the fact that Kamala loves to wear her Chuck Taylors, popularized by Converse sneakers, back in the 80's (or earlier?). Yes, and I also didn't know that apparently she loves to wear pearls, and so today I enjoyed learning about this new hashtag movement, in which lots of amazing women are sporting pearls and Chuck Taylors! I've enjoyed all of these pictures, ladies. Also, for those who aren't following amazing Black and Brown women on social media, I can share that many have recently celebrated their college sorority's respective "Founder's Days." It seems like most of the women I follow on instagram are sisters of .. aka "sorors" of AKA (Alpha Kappa Alpha), and Kamala is also a sister in this sorority, AKA, thus you may notice lots of pictures with those light pink and green colors (the colors of AKA). I'll include one cool pic here, so that you can see Kamala's college sorority's colors (the pink & green). Very cool ... and here are some of the trending hashtags ... #pearlsforkamala #pearlsandchucksforkamala #blackgirlmagic #amazingblackwomen #aka1908 #firstbutnotlast #shedidthat #kamalaharrisday .. oh, and let me also give a shout-out to that amazing young poet laureate, featured at today's Presidential inauguration of #joebiden .. her name is #amandagorman .. excellent! Thx, Adam Chiocca [book tour post, day 20, 1/20/21] ~
Hi, Is anyone reading this...? Really...? (crickets...) You see... I don't mean to sound so lame, but I'm torn. I feel like I'm supposed to contribute to the educational blogosphere, and yet I have three followers. Please... cue giggle (Yes, I want you to smile and giggle). I had these ideal thoughts about what it may be like to blog and learn from others online, and yet - I feel quite unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Yes, there must be 2 billion blogs out there, and everyone is pretty busy with life, so should I continue to blog? Please - somebody leave a comment...! And say, Yes, Mr. Chiocca, please contribute. Education and the future of public education depends on people like you, who care and want our kids to learn as much as they can in each grade level. Thanks for reading! Mr. Chiocca
