"If I Knew Then" by Donovan Livingston available on all streaming platforms! Run it up, show some love, and pass it on! This is the first single from a forthcoming album entitled, "Talk of the Town: A Chapel Hill Mixtape" -- peace & love, y'all! donovanlivingston.hearnow.co…
Open Mic Night on the Hill was a resounding success once again! Together, we demonstrated the power of storytelling through hip-hop music and spoken word poetry. Together, we reminded the broader community why we belong, why we matter.
“It is better to speak, remembering we were never meant to survive.”
We survive, we live, and we came to speak truth to power ✊🏾
Thank you students - @1955_fellowship_unc - and close friends, old and new, who showed up to support these amazing, newly-minted UNC emcees! 🩵🐏👣

We had a wonderful night celebrating the retirement of my mentor, Dr. Cynthia Shortell, the first Division Chief of @DukeVascular. She played an integral role in why I wanted to pursue training here. Congratulations to an icon on an impactful career 💙🩸

Our oldest (the tallest 5 yo I’ve ever seen) had her first basketball game. She said she wanted to dunk and be as good as Michael Jordan, and was also very concerned about having to remove her earrings. Delusional ambition paired with vanity, truly my baby! @dlive87
A thank you, though much deserved, seems woefully insufficient. I am so grateful to the homies, the Good Doctors @dr._vhicksharris & @tonykeithjr for participating in my manuscript workshop! The past 48 hours have been filled with laughter and vulnerability, good vibes and bars.
It’s a privilege to be surrounded by sage-like purveyors of the culture, who are also willing to pour into your vision.
With their help, and a generous grant from the @unccollege (shout out Dr. Karla Slocum, Director of Faculty & Staff Development), this manuscript -

Hospitalized because of an incurable blood disease. Dilla’s mom and friends brought him a sampler, a crate of records, and a computer to his hospital room. During his time at the hospital he completed all but 2 songs for donuts, and sadly 3 days after the release he passed. An album that pushed the genre is still inspiring many producers til this day
RIP J Dilla truly once in a lifetime artist.

13th Homecoming and second year in a row beating a lesser NC team in Wallace Wade. Shoutout to the fam for growing into their obligatory outfits, and big thanks to UNC for losing so badly to make sure I had a good day all around! #DDMF #ForeverDuke #TobaccoRoadsFinest 💙🤍😈

Happy 70th Birthday! RUBY Bridges is famous for doing something most of us take for granted today: going to elementary school. But that simple act by one small girl played an important part in the Civil Rights Movement. ❤️💚🖤
The first installment of “Rough: Drafts” was a vibe! Thank you @epiloguebooksch for providing an atmosphere ripe for creative risk-taking and vulnerability in community.
