So, here I am. A human being at the midpoint of life who has recently experienced profound grief and loss attempting to forge a new personal, professional and spiritual path in this complicated world. I am a feisty and spirited woman (I come from a long line of them) and still on my healing journey making discoveries about myself and others daily. Trying hard to adhere to the Four Agreements.
Thank you, Andre. My first teachers were Black women in St. Croix. They inspire me daily with their various forms of resistance to misogyny and white supremacy. My life has been massively enriched by Black people in general, along with my ancestors who lived and work on the African continent. More to come on that as we head into the 1950’s on my timeline….
CHANDRA! I am just seeing this but am so glad I have, you are FANTASTIC! I am so glad you sat down and put yourself in words, my goodness you're incredible. I'm in awe of you and so thankful for our connection.
Do you want to be on my podcast? I do one for gifted neurodivergents. I believe we are the creatives. I focus on how we cultivating our creative intelligence. Right now I am interviewing artists and what motivates them and their creative method.
"Former Director of Admissions at University of Florida 2000-2019"
so you were the DIRECTOR of Admissions of one of the biggest schools in the country, yet you only have 100 Facebook friends....?
HAHAHAHAHA you are a fraud Chandra. Cant believe it was this easy to figure out that you are a lying fraud loser. Pretty pathetic, you must be ashamed no?
To, Chandra-Just saw yours about present-day Alachua Cty. And certainly DeSantis-tun state officially the puts: his first campaign rife with veiled and not-so-veiled racism against Andrew Gillum. DeSantis showed his true colors and cowardly-ness right off the bat when first running for Gov.
To Sharon:Thanks also for your voice and wisdom. Here’s to you and yours this xmas weekend and for the new year!
Otherwise: Will write again about Racism, Misogyny, and Anti-Semitism there in Gainesville in the 70’s, including about curious mix of anti-modern anti-woman Judiasm at the Hillel.
Here’s what I wrote earlier to Chandra in response to hers today,

Hey ! I’m a Gator, too! (1973) So’s one of my daughters! (2018) Congrats to your son. VERY mixed emotions about the place. The dorms were NOT a good place and there was anti-semitism in them in the ‘70’s. I had a roommate from Ft. Walton Beach draw an imaginary line separating her space with her 2d refrig and toaster oven after she refused to share mine. She told me not to cross the line. Hateful B.
I ended up at great Georgia Seagle Hall run by the Methodist Church. Lots of misogyny officially by the church and not the residents. Loads of wonderful stories about the otherwise student-run boarding house. Will tell them sometime when I post about women-hating in my life.
Gainesville then—now?— also full of racism with water fountains and certain doors ON CAMPUS still marked “Colored” & “White”, but not enforced. I used to roam the fields with my Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex and photo the then “still there” slave and tenant farmer cabins.
Anyway, whether You /yours celebrate Xmas, other, or nothing, have a great weekend and New Years: mine this year on-going Hell in too many ways, but that’s another set of stories. At 72, I seem to have too many pent up stories yearning to break free and am starting to let them out like the steam from a pressure cooker.”

So I think I’ll explore Gainesville further sometime about whether it specifically has changed in 50 years. Remind me to talk about pickup trucks with grown men from town in bib overalls with rifles and Confederate flags jn the back windows in the early 70’s...
Subscribed. I really like your voice and look forward to learning more, Chandra.
Great I am super happy to have you!

Wow Chandra Hardy! Thank you for your humanity, your integrity, your intelligence and your courage.
You are rare indeed.

You are loaded with knowledge and inspiration Chandra. I’m looking forward to embracing your journey as my own. Thank you in advance.

We are literally in the "public square" right now. Why are you trying to avoid the point?
literally nothing on that website says you were the U of F DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS from 2000-2019
oh my god this is hilarious
again, why would you LIE on your Facebook bio...? That is like REALLY fucking weird.
when did i sexually harass a female reporter...?
you aren't a reporter, and I never sexually harassed you. I have never met you in my entire life.
are you a pathelogical liar....?
