When we decided to move back to New York in 2012, we were eager to buy an apartment but weren’t sure we could afford one on a university salary. I had started a new job just a year earlier, working at NYU, the same school where I first met my wife and cineaste soul mate, Salaama. We had quickly bonded over movies, rap, and our New England roots, and wound up in Brooklyn with one baby and then another.
