So happy to spend #AERA2024 surrounded by some of my favorite people, reconnecting with old friends, connecting with new ones, and thinking thru the work with others. Looking forward to using lessons from this space in my work with young people and tidying up this dissertation.

Today, I successfully defended my dissertation and became Dr. Francois! There’s so much I could say, but I am so grateful for my committee and village for believing in my work. #BlackGirlhood

Amazing scholars, and even better people. So grateful to be in community with the Fam at #AERA2024

#AERA24 was one for the books! The SERP scholars showed up and showed out! Super proud to witness them present on such a big stage.

I literally have the best friends ever! Love y’all! 🫶🏾

What a great group!

Div J Grad Network is in good hands! I look forward to seeing the amazing things that’ll happen under your leadership!

Made more memories than I captured. Thank you #AERA2024 for the connections, conversations, and celebrations!
