Prepping for my qualifying exam be like: 🫠🫠🫠🫠

The level of exhaustion is real and classes haven’t even started. I took a look at my syllabi and my brain felt like it was melting. Let Year 2 of #TheRoadToDrJuvi begin 🥹.

[Shanaé Burch, Ed.D #CreatingHealthfulNarratives @ShanaeRebecca]

Currently recruiting co-participants for my dissertation study, and would love to tap networks beyond my own.

[Juviza Rodriguez @juvithinks]

@dgcastelblanco @cientificolatin And it was @ErikMph who introduced me to the program! This journey isn’t easy, but I was fortunate to have had guidance and there was no better way to express my gratitude than by paying it forward!!! Aquí estamos, taking the world by storm 🙌🏽✨

[APHA LCPH @lcph_apha]

In case you didn't know, LCPH 🧡's @cientificolatin -- 3 of our members are also alumni of the program! CC: @juvithinks @dgcastelblanco @ErikMph. Each of them are now doctoral students at @CUNYSPH, @JohnsHopkinsSPH & @usfcoph 🤩

Two things:

I’m deeply grateful I found a home with @lcph_apha. Their support during application season and my first year as a PhD student (which was tough but worth it) has been EVERYTHING!

@DrCynthiaLebron is truly a force. So honored to have her as a mentor 💥🤩!!

[Cynthia Lebron, PhD, MPH @DrCynthiaLebron]

I’ve spent the last couple of days meeting with Latino public health folks including @jrfpsf @RabadanDiehl and @JRamirezValles rallying support for a big @lcph_apha project with @MurryMits @juvithinks @barbaquero @drjpam @MissDaniMPH and I’m just in awe.

[Juviza Rodriguez @juvithinks]

@kay_d_ess @RavenS_Johnson @PhDVoice This 🎯. Something I’m still learning but try to remind myself of on the extra tough days.

[Juviza Rodriguez @juvithinks]

@DrCynthiaLebron @lcph_apha @MurryMits @drjpam 🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️✨

[Juviza Rodriguez @juvithinks]

@DrCynthiaLebron Lol!! I love these! And yes to té de tilo! Abuela knows what’s up! 🤗💞

[Juviza Rodriguez @juvithinks]

🎯🎯🎯 every bit of this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Joél Leon. @JoelakaMaG]

swimming in the deep end is the only way you’ll learn how to thrive in a world that wants us to drown…

How will you honor your need for rest, ease, and joy? (6/6) #phdlife #PublicHealth

[Juviza Rodriguez @juvithinks]

Yesterday I had an uplifting conversation with a classmate who reminded me how harmful saying things like “I’m being lazy...” is to our emotional health. (1/6)

[Juviza Rodriguez @juvithinks]

I’m understanding that, for me, generational healing needs to include eliminating the word “lazy” from my vocabulary. As my classmate reminded me, we hold ourselves to such incredibly high standards & in that process confuse things like rest with being unproductive. (5/6)
