It is an incredible honor to finally be able to share with you that this Fall I will be starting as Core Professor in the Mythological Studies Program at the Pacifica Graduate Institute. I am always amazed by the directions that Spirit opens for me—the steering often skitters me "off course" from what the ego had penned as desirable; a course more in integrity with the deeper purpose reveals itself. To all my teachers, mentors, students, colleagues, family, friends, and ancestors—shukriya, thank you. I arrive into the knowing of my work because of you, your trust and support. May the work I offer continue to feed the soul well of the world. May even more robust currents of reciprocity open up. To my colleagues in the Myth Program who have welcomed me so fulsomely, my gratitude. To be welcomed for all of my onto-epistemic commitments—relational post/decolonial scholarship, borderlands feminisms, as well as my creative work and vision, and brown, transnational self—is such a gift. I am excited and proud to be working alongside the good people of this esteemed program, and at Pacifica, whose mission to tend soul in and of the world resonates with me. May we redream our dream of the world and our role in it together.
