Thanks C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News). It was speaking freely and honestly in that interview, fully in my queerness and blackness. You don't have to live all the hopes of the generation before you, but it is a blessing when you can step into the power they built with you.

Great opportunity for folks to learn and build in community. 💙✊🏽💙

Awesome!!!
