Congratulations to @dreleanormackey who received the 2022 Rosalind Franklin Society Special Award in Science by @WomenScienceRFS for her @LiebertPub paper on structural racism and childhood #obesity. ➡️ https://t.co/hiv9l0FuuN
A bittersweet thank you go our outgoing board members, Eleanor Mackey, @Laura_Simons, and Thomaseo Burton. SPP wouldn’t be the same without your leadership! #SPPatAPA
Additionally, it is not lost on me that last week I was notified that I had been reported (again) to HR by middle management for "being disruptive," as I spoke out about harm and #SDOH.
I just received notification that my academic promotion to (Full) Professor is official! This makes me the first Black woman in over 100 years at my institution to achieve this rank! #brokenglass#BlackGirlMagic#AcademicTwitter
So privileged to work with this group @ColleenCullinan @roger_in_de @avante_jena (missing @NikitaR0drigues today)! Special shout out to Colleen for facilitating our work together & keeping us organized! #SPPAC2022
#CNHPsychology representation @ChildrensNatl’s school health screening for children of Afghan allies at Pediatric Specialties of Virginia. So proud to be working with an excellent group of volunteers from the hospital! #growstronger#strongertogether
Thrilled that this paper is online now…

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv
