RETWEET: August is National Black Philanthropy Month or #BlackAugust. My little nonprofit @ThurmanPerryFDN has already:
- awarded a grant to FIT Clinic NOLA for free dental care for formerly incarcerated women
- opened housing relief applications for formerly incarcerated moms this week
But we really need help. We can’t reach this goal without you and we raise majority of our money online. Help us do the most good for women at https://t.co/d5SHg9dH7l
As a teacher, this whole bonnet debate definitely helps me contextualize why so many kids today are forgoing college. Shit sounds like a drain to be completely honest.
I attended so many classes at my PWI with my du-rag on. Hell i did my PhD oral defense in a ball cap and a t-shirt. The outfit had very little to do with my ability to perform. That’s all I’m saying.
Had my adhd med check appointment today (well yesterday 😂) and I’m being real when I genuinely say I don’t know how the hell I made it through 3 degrees (undergrad and 2 masters) without being medicated.
I swear covid recked every coping mechanism till I had to seek help 🥲.
Back in grad school for a lil second degree starting next week. Then doctoral school in 2020-2021, depending on if i can find the right program and get my writings in order
Now that i see the light at the end of the PhD tunnel, (graduation in August, yay!) I’m gonna finally sit my ass down and write that New York Times bestseller that’s inside of me. Bookmark this tweet 😂.
