One last announcement for Twitter😊, but I'm happy to say I'll be starting my M.A. in #Security Studies (@GeorgetownCSS) at @georgetownsfs this Fall 🎉🥳 I'm excited to get back into the classroom & help forge a path for more diverse voices in this field!

[Ashley L. Morefield @_almorefield]

My time in 🇬🇧 is wrapping up, so I'm reflecting on the great initiatives I've gotten to support such as this #Fulbright reception!

Got to see some friends (@LelandLazarus, @winnieTHEish) I gained through @fulbrightnoir and met some amazing colleagues at @USUKFulbright!

Hi @vfsglobalcare, I have yet to receive an update on picking up my passport from the DC VFS Center even though a decision has been made on my UK Visa. Any guidance on when I can pick it up?

@SamasaBakary Eid Mubarak and congrats, Bak! Always making us proud!

[Ashley L. Morefield @_almorefield]

@MissyReif @DickinsonCol Right!!

[Ashley L. Morefield @_almorefield]

Had a great time this week at the #FulbrightPrize Ceremony to celebrate Dr. Fauci and Dr. Corbet (@KizzyPhD) for their contributions to combatting #COVID19.

Met more of my Fulbright Diversity Collective and @FulbrightAssoc colleagues! What an inspiring community 😊

LOC is such a great resource -- it made researching fun last semester when I analyzed white-owned v. #Black-owned newspaper coverage of #TheRedSummer & #TulsaRaceMassacre for my domestic terrorism course.

Several Black-owned newspapers are represented in the Library's huge collection, from The North Star, founded by Frederick Douglass in 1847, to the @afronews, which celebrated @BarackObama's inauguration in 2009 with a commemorative magazine & trading cards! #BlackHistoryMonth

Learning that Hoover wanted the building to look like a giant filing cabinet of investigation because he was so obsessed w/ files/his LoC background was a fascinating part of my domestic terrorism course last semester. But yes, definitely still ugly

SE DC is almost entirely a food desert - wards 7 & 8 represent 75% of food deserts in DC. This is so exciting to see and so necessary to mitigate food insecurity in DC, especially for Black residents!

[Lidl US @LidlUS]

Our D.C. store opening was so "monument-al", a soft opening AND grand opening were in order 🤩

Thank you to @MayorBowser, @falcicchio, @mayorvincegray & many others for welcoming Lidl this week. Thrilled is an understatement to express how excited we are to serve Wards 7 & 8 💛
