The Meeting of Two Great Minds!

Dear friends,

Last night (2/22/14), in Washington DC, still on his worldwide book signing tour with his latest novel Foreign Gods Inc., at a packed Politicians and Prose bookstore, Dr. Okey Ndibe (right) got one of the surprises of his life when he looked up and saw that the next person in line was someone who he had known since she was a child and had even spoken to her over the phone in recent years, but now was seeing her physically as a woman for the first time in many years, my oldest daughter Dr. Namandje Bumpus. The two distinguished scholars/educators struck a pose together.

One Love!

Bumpus Lab has Important Find

Dear friends,

 A Black History Month tidbit, the Bumpus lab of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine recently published a paper that is causing a lot of excitement in the world of science. In fact, Hopkins asked my oldest daughter/middle child Dr. Namandje Bumpus to make this 30 seconds-long video for YouTube, as part of an interview that sh did about this exciting find.
