In this 100th year of honoring Black History, we celebrates Black life, Black love, Black joy, and Black innovation. From ancestral knowledge to expert skill, Black people built a country, made the culture, and led countless movements, shaping our world in profound ways. #BHM

Still recruiting for my dissertation project about the relationships among Black teachers and their wellbeing overall. I was asked to talk about my PhD experience and offer this as Part 1of my long winded yap session about it.

Last clip from my last episode ended on the importance of Black Joy. The road to PhD isn’t easy, I wanna quit often. My kids (former students) keep me pushing, and Black Joy keeps me inspired in this work #phdcandidate #ABD #graduateschool #education #doge #BlackJoy #literallyz
