HBCU’s are and have been CRUCIAL to the development of Social Work workforce. We create about 1 out of every 3 Black BSW’s - keep in mind we are ~9% of the accredited programs and less than 3% of colleges nationwide.

My colleague is using AI to respond to emails - it’s slightly irritating. AI just restructures the original email to confirm that it (not you) interpreted what I sent. But it doesn’t RESPOND so I’m just rereading my well thought out words. No original thought in reply.

I had the most amazing advisor/dissertation chair. She remains a mentor. And we have naturally transitioned into a friendship in the years since I finished.

90’s nostalgia: Airport goodbyes were totally different! We used to go all the way back to the gate with our loved ones and THEN we stayed to watch their plane take off, waving (sometimes crying) until the plane disappeared in the sky.

@journeywitjay Small ones. It’s about consistency. Also it varies things up.

I have a theory about those of us who grew up reading Readers Digest at a very young age - we are now philosophers/sociologists related careers cuz what kind of 7 year old reads Readers Digest? Those who are quizzical about the world. If this is you, 🙋🏽‍♀️ raise your hand.

Why is ornery such a difficult word to spell? I feel like it should start with an H

I felt VERY uncomfortable sending this email…but working on normalizing compensating Black women for their labor and acknowledging that I need to prioritize rest to do this important work (and therefore have to stop agreeing to give talks at 4:45 or 5am)

I am such a rule follower that last night I woke up anxious that the police were gonna come get me because the night before I had a dream I did something highly illegal. 🚗 🔥 I couldn’t go back to sleep for 15 minutes while I laid there telling myself it wasn’t IRL
