V. Wellness Check
  1. What does your self-care look like now?  Think back to Audre Lorde here.  Black feminist radical self-care and the focus on self-care in the M4BL is part of Black Rhetoric and social justice today!  How do you connect to this?
  2. Think back to the academic/professional goals that you had for the semester.  Reflect on these.  What needs to be celebrated?  Or re-assessed?   How are these things fulfilling you beyond the attainment and/or pursuit of PRODUCTIVITY or (future) STATUS and VISIBILITY?

VI. Preparations for Black Rhetoric Circles

Overview
  1. Click here for an overview of the final project, Black Rhetoric Circles.  This is not due until the last day of class, but you can begin percolating ideas in your head now.
  2. Click here and fill out this sign-up sheet.  You can't overlap books with someone else.
  3. Next week.... we breathe... and read.  There is no class.  Feel free to meet with me over zoom.  I will email you Monday with a reminder and with the final "point-spread."
VII. "Unapologetic"... "Unapologetically Black"
As you listen, think about these questions:
1) How does Charlene Carruthers, BYP100, and Unapologetic connect to any other rhetor or movement who we have heard/looked at this semester?

2) Take up any one of these questions that Carruthers asks us:
  • Who am I?
  • Who are My People?
  • What Do We Want?
  • What Are We Building?
  • Are We Ready to Win? ​
