ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. We will not have class on convocation next Tuesday (Thank You, Hannah!)  Stay tuned for syllabus reconfigurations on Thursday as well as the Hype Sign-Up sheet.  Apologies for any confusion!
2. Feel free to bring food, coffee, etc to class.  Once Carmen gets a paycheck and finishes unpacking, we'll all live it up a little bit more on her dime.  Unfortunately, Carmen also does not have supplies readily available for your collage project.  When in doubt, do a black&white sketch drawing.
3. In those moments when you feel "not enough" in the grad school grind (i.e., not well-read enough, not knowledgeable enough, not articulate enough, blah blah blah) and/or when you feel you KNOW it all already, please TRY and use a Black Feminist Framing instead. You ARE ENOUGH--- that's the institution talking, not you!   And don't nobody know everything--- that's just foolishness talking!
4. Periodically, we'll do a wellness check.  Anyone want to volunteer and share today?

I. Name Game and Opening Go-Around (Chance, Hannah, Kit, and Meagan have played)
What query did you choose to write about from “17th Floor: A Pedagogical Oracle from/with Audre Lorde”?  Share that query and one line from any part of your homework writing.
Please note that we will often do go-arounds.  There will be times when someone could not do the work--- do NOT pass judgement on what got in their way.  You do not know what people are going through... they are here so you need to respect that!
I. Pre-viewing Activity
What questions do you have about today's readings, "The Shape of My Impact" OR “17th Floor: A Pedagogical Oracle from/with Audre Lorde”?  What questions do you have about Alexis Pauline Gumbs? About the ways that we are framing Black Feminisms so far?
II. While Viewing (do this right on the homework):
Make a note of any 1-2 comment(s) that strikes you in some way and/or seems related to what you wrote in your homework.

III. Discussion of/Reactions to Video 
IV. More Discussion of "The Shape of My Impact" AND “17th Floor: A Pedagogical Oracle from/with Audre Lorde”
