Screen Shot 2015-02-20 at 12.11.26 PMOne of the major perks of living on campus is having so much to do right at our fingertips. It is so easy for us to walk across campus — or make a 3-minute drive — to take advantage of a huge array of opportunities year-round. Doing more of this, and maximizing these opportunities, was one of our goals in moving onto campus. We’ve done pretty well with making the most of it. As a result, we are so fortunate to get to see so many incredible productions, listen to so many brilliant speakers, and go to so many inspiring events.

This week was a particularly incredible week in terms of this facet of our family life. On Tuesday night, I got to see Michael Eric Dyson (one of my personal heroes) speak on campus. It was awesome! He’s an incredibly charismatic and brilliant guy, and I highly recommend going if you ever have a chance to hear him speak. But that’s probably something that would only happen if you live near a college or university. The next two events I want to recommend, however, might come to someplace near you even if you are far from a college town.

That night the students from my class, and me, and Braydon, all got to see him perform on campus. His one-man-show, Rhapsody in Black, was truly moving and incredibly engaging. If LeLand Gantt’s Rhapsody in Black is ever anywhere near you, you must go (he’s on tour now)! White adoptive parents of black kids– especially you!– I highly recommend this show for you!

If you have little ones, and you have a chance to bring them to this, go for it! The J-Ms highly recommend this show!
