Thank you all for sharing your amazing graduation moments! This year it’s especially joyous because my baby brother graduated just a few months after losing his best friend/brother. Really proud of him for not getting lost. 💓💓

“You can have your microaggressions all day. I’m still going to be pretty.” Joy Chambers, #STEMNoire2023 #MentorLite Speaker

#stemnoire2023 in Puerto Rico!! STEMNoire

Thank you STEMNoire for holding such a wonderful conference where Black women in science and science education came together to share our work and create connections! I feel very honoured to have won a prize for my poster presentation in this space ✨

I truly enjoyed the honest discourse shared at the STEMNoire 2023 Conference. Drs. Case-Borden, McGee-Avila and I were more than happy to share resources National Cancer Institute and discuss our career paths thus far! cc Cancer Epi & Genetics NIH NCI Cancer Training Jen McGee-Avila, PhD, MPH

First ever scientific conference talk in the books ✅ (and I won a presentation award)! Thank you STEMNoire, for providing an intentional space for Black women and enby folk that exceeded expectations. Grateful to all attendees for making that space welcoming and rejuvenating!

I have been saying this for almost a year now. The focus on DEI and the commitment has all but vanished. “Bloomberg also reported listings for DEI jobs in tech have now dropped by 19%, a more significant drop than a human resource or legal positions” peopleofcolorintech.com/articles/major…

I’m sending you all the virtual hugs!! You got this!!

Getting married in a week! 😭😭😭. That’s it! Also shout out to the folks on the plane who helped me navigate my wedding dress bag. Have a brace on and was struggling!

#WE23 was a success!! Thank you SWE for another amazing year.

Last Night my husband and I went to see The Color Purple..this morning I got up and he sends me this with the caption “when I send you this, you better do right by me” 😂😂 The movie went from my idea to my boy being the biggest Celie fan 😂😂

Advice from my dad I got in 2013 that I have written down: No-one is better than you, its just some people know a little more because they had practice..simple… I was a 2nd year graduate student and remember feeling like I wasn’t cut out for it. 10 years ago… Wow

I sought a literary agent for yrs but couldn’t gain traction. I believed my vision, hired a developmental editor, & self-published my book. It’s a #1 release & Amazon bestseller. Stop waiting to publish what has been downloaded in your spirit. a.co/d/bipayAB

Driving to Philly and passing Wilmington and all I can think of is where did Vanessa Huxtable get those donuts because I would love to try them 😂. #iykyk

Tried aerial yoga for the first time with my favorite Drs.
