“what drives an artist is that you believe that the future is gonna have some use for what you are working on now.”
-Junot Diaz
The opportunity given to CMS students and staff yesterday was one that i will never forget. Junot Diaz is an incredible writer, an absolute genius, a humanitarian, a champion of justice, and a phenomenal teacher. So many incredible gems and sound bytes that didn’t stop from the moment he arrived until the moment that he left -and i would know…he had a magnetic quality to him that kept me a my video camera chasing him all day.
All of these pieces come attached with a mature language warning.
