https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay The age old question... If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? en-us 2018-05-16 12:57:53 UTC 2018-05-17 14:27:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597659 Abuelito. My mom's father passed away when she was 10, a year after her brother passed away, which sent their family into a spiral. I know that it fundamentally changed shaped my mom (incredibly resilient and loving and tender, but also a super high bar for what constitutes "a bad day" or "going through a tough time" -- so I'd like to learn more about her and them. ]]> 2018-05-17 14:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597659 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597765 Ida B Wells to ask her about her data work on lynchings]]> 2018-05-17 14:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597765 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597781 Duh, Prince. Aside from being the coolest person who ever lived, I’d like to talk to him about artistry and how he chose what to release and what to keep hidden in his vault.]]> 2018-05-17 14:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597781 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597799 My grandpapa. He was a farmworker who traveled with the harvest across Mexico, up California, down through Texas (rinse and repeat). He died before I was born but is beloved and legend in my family for his unerring compass for kindness, justice, unceasing work, and commitment to family and making our lives as full of opportunity as possible.]]> 2018-05-17 14:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597799 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597825 I’d love to meet my mom’s grandfather. My mom’s childhood was fairly tumultuous and her own mom was largely absent from it but she grew up to be a wonderful mom, person and friend. I know her grandpa was a large source of stability and love. ]]> 2018-05-17 14:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597825 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597861 My Grandmother (Grace Willis)...so many more questions to ask. She worked her way up from laundry room into leadership at the University of Michigan Hospital, a community activist, and raised five wonderful kids... Being older now, there are so many more things I want to know that I can't ask now.

I do not understand her AT ALL. So dinner would be excruciating but enlightening. Did you know she made $25M on her "app" last year?]]> 2018-05-17 14:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597916 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597981 Bob Marley. I like his lyrics and point of view. Also, I want to find how many actual kids he has. He is an effective storyteller.

There are questions I would like to ask, and things I would love to make sure that she knows about my life and my kids]]> 2018-05-17 14:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261597990 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261598094 Yaa Asantewaa. She's known in Ghanaian history for telling men "if you don't fight, I will gather the women and we will fight." My dad has told me this story MANY times and I'd like to meet the woman who I've literally had to spend hours of my life hearing about.]]> 2018-05-17 14:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261598094 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261598099 I’m going to go with my grandmother, who was a successful business owner, in part because I would be super nervous to meet with anyone famous. I’d just love to get advice from her as an adult on work and kids, plus fashion advice. Also I want to let her know they closed the Lord and Taylor on 5th avenue, and see if she’d let me digitize her wholesale bead business. ]]> 2018-05-17 14:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261598099 https://padlet.com/mrskmpeters/90s2v7p3pfay/wish/261598102 Probably my grandpa. Would be great to have an conversation now as grown adult. Also getting older 
more curious about history, so much has changed and curious and life experiences then

His 'inner vision' touches places in my soul that speaks to simple ideas ('I just called to say I love you') to urban issues ("livin' for the city") to relationships ("I'll be loving you always") to current events/leaders ("he's mister know-it-all").
