Not sure what to say?

Professor Mullings was my dissertation advisor when I began my doctoral studies at Yale University in 1973. She was a mentor, a friend and an eternal inspiration. Her passing has transformed my world. This material world will never be the same again.

My condolences to the children and grandchildren of my brilliant and generous friend, Leith. We will all miss her very much, I know.

I can not believe you are gone, I hope you are with Mom and Dad and Manning.

There are no words to describe this great loss. It is difficult to accept the fact that Leith is gone. A great mentor, a great academic, and an incredible person. I am honored and blessed to have known her. She will forever remain in my heart.

Dear Leith. I still can not believe that you are gone. You were the best mentor ever. I have an enormous debt of gratitude. You will be sorely missed. Sending all my love to your family.

My guiding light on our journey towards social justice, equality as try to make this place a better one for all. More than a colleague and friend, Leith made me a better scholar, teacher, Black Feminist Anthropologist, and activist in various organizations. I will miss her forever.
