Today is such a beautiful day. Went for a short walk to the Burlington Waterfront. Might get a shake…

Had the best time at Beyoncé’s concert in Chicago (I know I’m late!). If she adds more dates next year, I’ll try to see her again even if it’s not in the US.

In these trying times, you are either a safe person or you aren't. If you have privilege, use it. Words can only take us so far. The same is true for institutions; many of us are watching closely what you'll do. Our very survival depends on it.

Fascism is cowardice. Do something. Say something. Be wary of those who peddle in nihilism. We need hope for us and for future generations. Remember, courage is not the absence of fear.

My regular skin care routine is: toner, essence, Vitamin C ampoule, if night add a repair ampoule, retinoid /retinol, moisturizer, and sunscreen. My skin started to break out more, so I added salicylic acid (The Ordinary) to my regimen. Should I use it after the toner? I am not sure...

The world will try to humble confident Black women. Are we supposed to cater to your insecurities? Do you know how much it takes to hold your head high when everything/everyone says your existence should be of service to others and nothing left for you?

Related to my previous spouts, we cannot have a just and free world without imagination and rest. I strongly recommend reading "Rest Is Resistance" by Tricia Hersey, Founder of The Nap Ministry.

Isms and phobias (racism, sexism, heterosexism, gender binarism, transphobia, ableism, classism...) are about power, resources and opportunities. This is about whose labor gets exploited, and who gets to take everything unjustly.

For Black women, what are some of the ways you advocate for better healthcare for yourself/family? I am dealing with a situation, and I am a little apprehensive about the way physicians will treat me based on prior experiences.

My hairstylist is so amazing. There aren't many Black people in Vermont. So, everytime I am at the hair salon, it restores my soul to be in community with other Black women.

For me, that realization has been liberating. Right now I’m doing great. If there comes a time my career doesn’t go as I want it to, I hope I will not to internalize structural failures as my own. I also hope there’s a community that catches me when I fall.

Black women, Black women scientists, we are enough. It is not a failure when we do not make it in academia. We are doing our best with the tools we have.

I’m still figuring out what it means to be Debora without fear, anxiety and scarcity. It’s ok to seek help. It’s ok to look for support. Expectations for Black scientists are very high with none of the generational resources.

Academic sciences are extremely traumatic for Black women. Navigating systems/institutions that were created to exclude us leaves scars. I was in survival mode for so long. Once I felt somewhat safe, everything I tried to bury came back.

For people with motion sickness what do you use? The only thing that seems to work well for me is the original dramamine. I need something that doesn't put me to sleep and make me groggy (non-drowsy dramamine doesn't work as well)...

I’m a 24-year old formerly homeless gay black man in Florida who has risen to political prominence. Ron DeSantis and the GOP wants to erase my story. What they don’t want you to know is that America is a place where progress happens— all the time, despite the backlash. I won’t back down.
