[Jatia Mills @DrMills24]

Be careful my fellow graduate students! Its summer with only few of us but #vtparking never sleeps😈

[It’s Levels To Thissss @FlawsofCouture]

Just imagine what hospitals are TRULY like for Black people…

[Jatia Mills @DrMills24]

Had the privilege to present my research and connect with both minority students and NIH reps at The 2023 NIH Blueprint Diversity Conference. I learned a lot about science communication and had a great discussion on the social determinates of research and medicine! #BlueprintNIH

@mia_rayne In just one day, the conversation has changed from “should i stick with academia?” to “will I be welcomed in academia?”. I could be exaggerating but it’s scary.

[Jatia Mills @DrMills24]

To have just recently spoken on the need for diversity in Neuroscience, it is disheartening to hear the Supreme courts ruling and the reversal of Affirmative Action.

[Mia Rayne Pacheco @mia_rayne]

@DrMills24 It really is so upsetting.

[Jaimee Swift @JaimeeSwift]

Affirmative action gutted.

Black, Ethnic, LGBTQ+ & Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies attacked.

The fall of Roe.

Banning books.

Banning ideologies coined by Black Feminists.

And y’all want Black academics to go on as business as usual?

Nah.
