A PhD program should form scholars, not wear them down. After reflecting on Howard's HELPS Preview Experience, I wrote about why community, mentorship, and belonging should be central to doctoral education rather than optional.

Just finished #TheNightingale by @Kristin_Hannah1, and it left me undone.

Two sisters. One war. Endless courage.

A story about love, endurance, and what it means to survive when the world falls apart.

After a year of reflection and uncertainty, I spent my birthday weekend surrounded by the people I love. This post is about joy, healing, and finally asking myself: what do I really want?

Just finished reading *On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous* by Ocean Vuong and I highly recommend it! 🌟 This book is a poignant exploration of racial identity, class, masculinity, addiction, the impact of the Vietnam war, family, and love. 📖✨

[Nelson Pham @PhamNelson]

10/10. I recommend this fantastic book by @danieloblack. This novel is written as a love letter from a father who struggled to love his gay son. It is filled with pain, sorrow, regrets, and love. I finished the entire novel in one sitting, it’s that great!

[Nelson Pham @PhamNelson]

@MrLeslieHall Congratulations Dr. Hall!!! 🎉🎊🍾🎈

[Nelson Pham @PhamNelson]

@spamfriedrice Of course! Are you going on a book tour anytime soon? Maybe to the DMV area? I would love to meet you and get my book signed.

[Nelson Pham @PhamNelson]

@spamfriedrice, thank you so much for such a fantastic book! I love how you made this into a love letter for Té Té ❤️. One day, I’ll do the same for my child.

I highly recommend this book! It’s digestible and an excellent start for those who want to be educated on this topic.

@NatGeo #Queens narrated by the high Queen herself, @ImAngelaBassett, is so amazing!! Give her all the awards!! Such a good show! ❤️😍🐘🐝🦁❤️😍

Yes, it will, Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson. You are right; if this is allowed, then the Office of the President will be turned into a criminal organization sanctioned by the US Government. So, disqualify Trump and let him pay for his crime. #SCOTUS

"If the potential for criminal liability is taken off the table, wouldn't there be a significant risk that future presidents would be emboldened to commit crimes with abandon while they're in office?" -Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson
