I. How Are We Today?

1. In our opening go-around, please give us a wellness check.  It's been a VERY LONG WEEK since we last saw one another and next week will also be cut short.
2. Tell us BRIEFLY about one of the readings that you did for today.  What should our colleagues think/know about this piece?

Meet Jayla, who inspires the title of this unit!

II. Jose Luis's Hype w/ Discussion

III.  Small Group Activity & Discussion

1. Go back to the homework assignment that asked you: What does this text or set of texts offer us in terms of challenges, research processes, paradigms, and/or insights?
2. On chart paper, make three lists: a) challenges; b) research methods & philosophies; c) new paradigm or insight
3. What seems possible for our own research (whether about Black women or not), present and future, and why?  What will we remind ourselves of and why?
