After doing my taxes, my car maintenance light comes on, hospital bill pops up, and a credit card payment is due. It just doesn’t stop. #adulting

Congrats to all the NSF GRFP awardees! Congrats to the honorable mentions! In my opinion, there really is no difference between them, just the amount of $ available. Congrats to all that applied. If you can, do it again next year. If not, other funding sources are out there.

One day soon it will go from “I paid my rent” to “I paid my mortgage”.

TONIGHT we will be celebrating Women’s History Month on our IG Live at 6pm EST with a panel discussing the hardships that Black women face in academic and professional settings and ways for Black women to overcome!!

My NSBE community showed up and showed out!

It was the last day and the last session of #NSBE50 , and I thought only a few people would show up.

Little did I know, my mom and aunt would surprise me and a room full of every shade of Black engineer.

Thrilled Prof. Lola Eniola-Adefeso will be leading AIMBE for the next two years, elected by you!

I am speaking at #NSBE50 !

It is crucial, now more than ever, that STEM professionals master the art of self-promotion and branding. This talk will help NSBE attendees do just that!

Stop by and say hi if you are there!

“I don’t do politics”

Well baby, politics is going to do you, regardless.

When people ask me what I’ve been up to, I’ve been replying “Drinking water and minding my business.” It’s been peaceful.

“thank god it’s the weekend”

me Saturday and Sunday:

At first, I wanted to make more money to spend more money. Now, I want to make more money to save and invest more money. #mindsetshift

Every time I get that overwhelming feeling of anxiety, everything is on fire and needs tending to, I tell myself to focus on one thing at a time. Focusing allows me to give each task it’s deserved attention & helps me not think about the fires simultaneously reducing my stress.

I need to claim one of my siblings this tax season 😩 #filingsinglenokids

“how do you deal with stress and anxiety?”

me:

I’m presenting at the BEYA STEM conference this weekend!

Today, I will be moderating a panel “Body Language in the Workplace: Effectively Communicating Your Message” that will address how body language impacts our communication at work.

See you there! #BEYA #STEM #BEYA Proud
