Catch me as Tigger!

Day 1 of #FacingRace2018 national conference from Race Forward is in the books. Great to see so many POC and organizers inspiring and sharing their knowledge. Soaking up as much as I can.

Hi, it's been awhile 👋🏾 Currently knee deep in Doctoral work but LOVING the learning even if I'm not in love with the time it takes. How are you pushing yourself lately? How are you enjoying the moments too? The second question is harder for me to answer, but I'm working on it.

I'm going to "State of Womxn of Color : The Future of Work Belong to Us". See you there? eventbrite.com/e/state-of-wom… via Eventbrite

I know we all write lots of recommendation letters, and it's lots of labor, but is there any better feeling than bragging on someone whose work you respect and admire? Slapping on a signature after raving about someone's work and potential is a feeling. #academiclife

Sometimes I forget twitter exists. But lately that’s at least partly because my doctoral program is sucking the life out of me. I need a vacation! But... #onedaydrhess

To solve the #BlackStudentDebt crisis, potential solutions need to have the voice of Black borrowers at the table. As a first step, EdTrust is surveying Black student borrowers. Will you share your story? edtru.st/BlkStuDebtStudy
