For the 2024 Society for Historical Archaeologists (SHA) Conference coming to Oakland, CA January 3-6th, a new panel experience is underway. Chaired by myself and Dr. Peggy Brunache, and led by an amazing group of panelists, this panel is set to make history as the first time a conversation surrounding Black and Indigenous mothering is taking center stage in our field. And I can’t wait to see it all unfold! Look out for our panel at the next SHA meeting

National Geographic Education Just Dropped a New Blog Post A new post was just published on National Geographic Society’s Education Blog in celebration of Geography Awareness Week. The post describes my journey to becoming an educator in Tulsa and the new course I developed at The University of Tulsa titled, The Archaeology of Black Heritage in Oklahoma, which makes use of cultural landscapes to help my students tell stories of Black freedom and innovation through time. #2892MilesToGo #NatGeo #MapMaker #ThatsGeography #GeoWeek
