Curriculum Vitae

Meet Dr. Rodgers

First and foremost, I am Arnitha’s daughter. 
Flora and Mary’s granddaughter. 
Eva’s great niece. 
Candace’s partner and Savannah’s stepmom.

I am a friend, a Soror,
A Godmommy, an auntie.
An educator, a femtor, a bridgebuilder.
An heir of the Black Radical Tradition
Of all the lessons and warnings
And hopes and fears of my People.

I am working to become an intellectual 
A writer
Who writes truths worth telling 
In ways that make people feel things
Do things
Dream things
Create things
And worlds and futures
That our babies deserve.
