Curiosity is an under appreciated quality. This place is for my digital twin as a training & development specialist. The data science interview is 🆙

The footprint the 1996 Olympics left at Georgia State was quite impactful. With the 2021 Games beginning this Friday, here's a look back 25 years ago to the role Georgia State played in the iconic '96 Games in Atlanta: https://t.co/ueKHviWjVM

Mandela films are my selfish go-to during quarantine. Today is no different. Zindzi ❤️

As a college student groomed to praise open-source and open-education for better communities, I get frustrated with laws requiring prescriptions for better health options or innovation...😑How do we make change? https://t.co/Tjsg3fcYRO

Putting down consumerism while having a vegan meal is my personal way of celebrating #blackoutday2020 for a better version of us. “If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?”
-Maya Angelou Thank you @tassilisraw

@Zwavhudi1 I heard that all the way from the U.S. Sis and I feel you!! What’s helped me are two words. Courage and will. The courage to affect change and the will to see it through. Hope this helps but I feel you!

I’ve ridden past this way too many times in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. These 12-foot iron bars and barbwire were created by artist David Hammons (creator of the African-American Flag) and it is a representation of Nelson Mandela’s activism towards liberation in South Africa.

Kept this essay for 3 yrs supporting prison reform. As I reflect, I realized the prisoner I was writing on behalf of was myself dealing with how to forgive. Long story short, holding onto grudges isn’t worth throwing away beautiful minds nor does it help the human condition.

Advice received from an @theohubs webinar. @justmikeyates said what we do is like art because it isn’t for us. It’s for the world. I’m dropping my first blog post today called “Accepting Cultural Dissonance in Exchange for a Colossal Opinion”.

[Laurence Wingo @getsthepicture]

Struggling during COVID-19 to write only 4 blog posts 😭!! Time to celebrate the small wins to keep it al in perspective. At least I can check off that I volunteered in 2018 to learn how computational neuroscience was being used in healthcare systems.

I remember when the side mirrors on my dad’s car read, “OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR”. I miss that dude and those car rides home.

@Deadra_Present You don’t know me but your posts have been funny as hell. Well played Sis

Understanding human development is challenging to where it’s like a safari. Interesting ideas jump out and consume so many relationships...in a good way. My biggest fear isn’t opportunities consuming us but the fear of missing out by not pursuing anything.

I’m doing The Balanced Scholar 10-Day Challenge next week with @blkingradschool! I’ll be exercising, reading, and writing my way to getting more done and taking care of myself. #TBSchallenge

Our sensory memory can become hijacked by both people and things fighting for it’s attention. I’m starting a open-source and open-data project called @thefoodationapp to assist restaurants and individuals living in sugar-rich environments or food deserts.

Could western ideologies in Social Darwinism have an impact on the cognitive learning process? I just might start that blog.

[Laurence Wingo @getsthepicture]

I’m starting to see a powerful sense of cyclic longevity and ambition found in both eastern and western philosophy. From South Africa’s position in Ubuntu philosophy to individualism in the United States.

@JCSE_at_Wits Thank you!
