We often overlook the emotional downturn that follows significant milestones—whether it's graduating, getting married, having a child, or returning from an exciting vacation. These "blues" are normal and something we should openly discuss and prepare for.

"Structural racism's toll on Black women is both professional and personal. Despite being highly educated, they benefit the least from advanced degrees, affecting their mental health." (Nzinga, 2020; Latunde, 2022, p. 63) #MentalHealth #StructuralRacism #BlackWomen

You know we are in trouble when we have to hire celebrities to headline educational conferences instead of paying educators to come teach and inspire. Sad. #influencers #educators #thinkers #actors

Education leaders face some common challenges such as limited resources and addressing the unique needs of students. But for Black womxn educational leaders, those issues are compounded by barriers and social injustices specific to the double-bind. #Black tinyurl.com/5n6uuv6u

Because weekends are made for fun. I highly recommend the California African American Museum. They take pride in excellence and always present an array of Blackness. #CAAM #southerncal #losangeles #weekend

"People with boundaries are winning" - Dr. Nicole. Despite potential pushback, boundaries are vital, especially for women of color. In a world where time is devalued and abilities underestimated, boundaries assert dignity and self-worth. #BoundariesMatter #SelfRespect

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten. #MemorialDay #HonorTheFallen

You can manifest everything you want—money, relationships, power, position—and still be miserable. The truth is, if what you believed you wanted had nothing to do with serving others and was disconnected from what you truly needed, it's not fulfilling.#wisdom #priorities #values

It always amazes me when people say something and there is data (proof) that what they are saying isn't true. Is this cognitive dissonance, delusion, or lying? #facts #data #evidence #perceptionisnotfact
