This really ties into my understanding of self because lately I have been feeling that I’m not good enough and not doing enough. It’s often hard to recognize our own accomplishments, but I’m starting to realize that I have made an impact in STEM.

I’ve been very public- living my life on social media and sharing as much as I can about the barriers and obstacles I face. This weekend I realized this is an act of bravery and resistance to discuss such “taboo” topics that others are afraid of.

One thing I learned during this retreat is the desire to genuinely connect with people and is one of the reasons I started this platform. I wanted to bring awareness of the challenges of the #DisabledInSTEM community and to let others know that they are not alone 💜.

Almost every PhD graduate I talk to lately has been describing how much doing a PhD took a toll on their body from emotional, to physical, to psychological. Then when you consider the #DisabledInSTEM population, these impacts can be even more damaging.
