To be Black is to be exceptional simply by existing. To breathe while Black is to thrive. To move, and wake up, and allow ourselves the glorious, Godly space to be Black, without fear of retribution or limiting the infinite space we are blessedly entitled to -- is a revolution. There is nothing I love more than seeing us flourish, seeing us beam and shine and glow like the beloved moonlight on water. Yes, we too can be soft. We too create. In fact, the wombs, heartbreak, song, seeds sown by our foremothers birthed this entire nation. While their mouths suckled from our breasts, their whips cracked our back. While we used braiding to design escape routes, they call it KKK boxer braids. They hold vigils for Charleston, and metanoias against White Supremacy, only to have a White woman tell us to praise the police who pushed, shoved, lied, belittled and protected a eugenicist. A Latinx man was expelled for his artistic expression of his resistance to a Klan-run administration that served as an affirmation for those of us who aren't of the caucaus mountains.

  • Excerpt from Back in the World, a Dramatic Full-Length Produced Play in One Act
    1 EXCERPT FROM BACK IN THE WORLD, A DRAMATIC FULL-LENGTH PRODUCED PLAY IN ONE ACT. The play, a series of interconnected monologues delivered by four black veterans of the Vietnam War recall, reflect on and relive some of their searing experiences before, during and after their service in Vietnam. A fifth character—The Man—is a homeless Vietnam Veteran who lives day-to-day in Detroit and fights to maintain his sanity against the backdrop of urban gunfire and the sounds of police helicopters patrolling the skies and sounding (at least to him) like the Huey helicopters he became familiar with in Vietnam. The Man has something in common with the other characters; they may not remember his name but at one point or another, this nameless man has touched the lives of the other characters. Theatrically, he serves as something of a ghost providing “memory dialogue” with the other characters. Anthony “Jam” Brazil is from Indianapolis. He is a veteran of the Fourth Infantry Division: “Duc Pho, May ’69. Saigon, October ’71, December ’71.” He has seen a lot of action and the persistent memory of it hurts. As he states early on in his monologue he has killed about as many people as are in the theater listening to him—some Viet Cong, some Chinese. But it is the innocent casualties he remembers most. Brazil: I killed a seven-year old boy once. Seven or eight. Easiest thing I’ve ever done. Killin’ that boy. Didn’t look back, don’t regret it. I mean, that’s what bein’ a soldier’s all about, right? No frets, no regrets.

Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720-1234, USA. e-mail: [email protected] *Main author for correspondence. Abstract Universities play an important role in innovation ecosystems. In addition to developing human capital and advancing technology, they are increasingly expected to participate as economic development partners with industry and local, state, and national governments. Models such as the “Triple Helix” have been advanced to frame the assessment of interactions among academia, industry, and govern- ments that may foster economic development. Such models highlight the boundary-spanning roles of universities and provide a predetermined list of actions universities could take to strengthen their eco- system. Unfortunately, the flexible and entrepreneurial management of universities required to make this model work has virtually been ignored in the academic literature. We propose the dynamic capa- bilities framework to guide how universities might manage their innovation ecosystems. We use this framework to analyze the role of the university throughout the ecosystem lifecycle.

  • GIIN Launch 2009.Pdf
    Global Impact Investing Network September 25th 2009 New Industry Group Launched to Facilitate For-Profit Investing that Addresses Social and Environmental Challenges New York City, September 25, 2009—President Bill Clinton today announced the launch of the Global Impacting Investing Network (GIIN), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting more effective impact investing around the world, at the Clinton Global Initiative. Impact investing is the use of for-profit investment to address social and environmental problems. The GIIN will promote the infrastructure, activities, education, and research that enable more effective impact investing, and will ultimately lead to a coherent, well-developed marketplace for the impact investing industry. Two major initiatives begin this work: The GIIN Investors’ Council - a group of leading impact investors representing a diverse range of institutions from around the world. The Investors’ Council will provide leadership in the industry, disseminate the latest research and best practices in the field, and support the creation and adoption of industry infrastructure, including impact metrics. The Impact Reporting and Investment Standards (IRIS) – initiative to provide a common framework for measuring social and environmental impact of investments. IRIS addresses a major barrier to the growth of the impact investing industry – the lack of transparency and credibility in how funds define, track, and report on the social and environmental performance of their capital. “This network is a response to growing appetites from investors across the world for a platform that allows them to work together to capture the powerful potential of impact investing,” said Amit Bouri, Director of Strategy and Development for the GIIN.
