Update: I’m now a DrPH in Environmental Health student. My research will focus on the intersection of environmental and reproductive Justice using a Black Feminist framework. I’m so excited to grow! 💙🌱

You may think this won’t affect you if you don’t live in the motherland. Everything is connected. We are all dependent on each other’s climate changes.

No. AI companies are targeting Black neighborhoods with their environmental pollution & when they start erasing jobs saying there’s no need for entry level or writers or whatever, trust and believe Black people will be the first to be replaced by AI. Let’s not help them erase us

TAMU grad photographers do not care that it’s an emotional time and your eyes still wet when they snap those photos 😭

They said get this work and move on ma’am 🗣️ NEXT

(It’s just jokes, they were lovely and I love that my photos capture the emotions of the day)

This was such a challenging, yet fun side mission that helped me think about my conceptual framework for my dissertation and gave me space to express my scholarly ideas and contributions in creative ways. I've also been introduced to new music and a growing vinyl collection. 5/
