Never underestimate the power of being a kind, compassionate, caring individual. It may be all someone needs to get through a difficult time.

When my dad died my heart ached in an unexplainable way. It still aches for him. I never imagined an ache even more indescribable than what I am feeling watching my mom decline & knowing my sister is dying. It’s paralyzing 🥺 #ElderCare #CaregiverBurnout #CancerSucks

I always wondered how/why researchers end up focused on 1️⃣ thing. Now I’m obsessed with the spleen. As I enter my 2nd yr Penn IGG I look forward to exploring the spleen and its role in health/disease. To be continued. . . #PhDlife #SickleCell #Immunology #Microbiome

The last memories I have with my stepdad and big sis. A reminder to cherish every moment with the ones you love. #RIPFadaStone #RIPmypreciousJuls ❤️🕊️🙏🏽🕯️🙏🏽🕊️❤️

A month later I discovered an ache that hurt just as much. My sister passed away from metastatic colon cancer. I was not there for her as I planned. She died waiting for me to visit. There is no redo. Only forgiveness & healing 🙏🏽

Online learning is so frustrating 😤

Life still goes on 🥺. Even without the ones we love 💔. Still in disbelief, but grateful they are not suffering 😭

Be kind to others! You never know what some may be going through. #WMHD2024

On the last day of black history month, let me flood your timeline with sone black excellence! This was an amazing initiative orchestrated by the E.E Just Biomedical Society and CDB Department UPenn CDB. A panel discussion that fed the soul and showcased black scientists!

Three years ago I said there was no plan B. I just had to get into Grad school, and I did. Now with that same fervor & determination I declare, quitting is not an option. I will press on.
