Judging debate with my CNU NextGen Colleagues in Buffalo, NY, June 6, 2014.

 

So let’s just say the remainder of CNU and my weekend was a whirlwind. But it was fun. And for those of you sick of me using the words CNU, be patient, I’ll be done by Thursday, and you’ll have that podcast I promised last week, On the Privilege of Travel, for your listening pleasure as well. You may see a CNU-themed video on Friday, but that’s all. Tomorrow I’ll answer both an open letter that brings up valid criticisms, as well as address the lingering diversity elephant (bison for Buffalo?) in the room. For now, click here for the Storify and we’ll see you bright and early tomorrow for our next post.

(In the meantime, check out North Carolina Placebook, for a brand-new explainer driven format).

Kristen Jeffers has always been interested in how cities work. She’s also always loved writing things. She went off to a major state university, got a communication degree and then started a more professional Blogger site. Then, in her graduate seminar on urban politics, along with browsing the urbanist blogosphere, she realized that her ideas should have a stronger, clearer voice, one that reflects her identity as a Black southern woman. And with that The Black Urbanist blog was born. Seven years, one Twitter account, one self-published book, two podcasts and a litany of speeches and urban planning projects later, here we are.
