contributors, all of that was completely on me. And so that was exciting. I'm like, man like this is, I could really do something powerful here. And so, as I, you know, so I had to really kind of think through what it was that I wanted to accomplish with the book. And, and I didn't want it to be a typical, like, academic book where you just had all like, you know, like PhD folks, you know, professionals, sort of speaking to other professionals, that was not what I wanted for the book. And, and I don't think that's really what the publisher is wanting for the book, I wanted a book that, that was more, that was somewhat more representative of the black community, that would feature voices, not only of, you know, certainly, you know, some academics, but but, but activist, students, clinicians, like I really wanted it to to be representative of the diverse voices, that exists, you know, in our community. And so, I, as I started to think through that, I began to get more excited about the possibilities of what it would mean to be able to, to convene such a collection of diverse voices. And then I had to think through Alright, so what would they talk about? Like, what would you know, and so, I had to sort of really think, and conceptualize, what would be the, the topics of the book. And, and that's where, you know, that took some time. And, and, again, I knew, you know, that there had to be, you know, that they had to be historical component, you know, nothing happens, you know, in a, you know, without sort of being informed by history. So, I knew that, that there had to be a historical component. But, but I wanted to also, you know, sort of touch upon these various themes that I thought were connected to this idea of making Black Lives Matter. And so I knew that policy was important. You know, at the time, I was a director of a policy institute that there was situated within black studies. So I knew that we had to address policy issues. I knew that, you know, activism obviously had to be involved in and I thought about those individuals who, to me represented the epitome of sort of being a scholar, activist. So I knew that that was important. I knew that there had to be a component related to the origins of the Black Lives Matter movement and being these three powerful black women and that there had to be something that addressed, you know, sort of specifically say her name, the hashtag, say, her name sort of movement and, and how, you know, black women really were central to the whole Black Lives Matter movement. I knew I knew that that had to be addressed. And I knew that I wanted to have and I was especially excited by this to have community voices, individuals who would likely never write a book, whose work in a community was so very important. And I wanted their stories to be told. And that's that, I think, probably excited me as much if not more than anything else, and so Been able to sort of, you know, connect with community members that I knew. And I was familiar with their work and had worked with some of them in some instances, and being in fact, you know, what, just as a sidebar, you know, my involvement and the Austin chapter 100, black men, 100, black men of Austin, I do that sort of work, I was familiar with the work of one of the members who had, who was part of a very powerful school that Texas empowerment cat Academy, who has been doing incredible work with majority black kids, kids who had been given up on and he had approached me some time ago, because he wanted their story to be told, and they didn't really have an outlet to be able to tell their story. And, and then when this book sort of idea, this, this book opportunity presented itself, I was like, Wow, this would be the perfect opportunity for me to sort of give them an outlet to tell their story. So anyway, all that to say that, you know, I began to really think through and conceptualize what I wanted the contents of the book to to include, and that, the more that I thought about it, and the more that it started to kind of like be fleshed out, the more excited I became about the possibilities of the book.
