This blog is centered on basketball stories, reflections, and links to education as well as connections to Latinxs and hoops. I will reflect on the game and the "homes" that nurture me. From personal stories, to reactions to basketball films and art, to other musings-this is a venue where I link a personal passion with research and writing. The aim is to be as "free" as possible as I dribble with words. I hope this space triggers memories and brings about visuals that earmark time, place, learning, and change. In community, basketball is always best. I send a special thank you to my family and students, especially those that have cared to listen to my stories and have long provided wisdom and "life" with their reflections. Welcome.
