Excited to have a conversation with an academic partner from South Africa tomorrow… if you could do any international work/research in South Africa what would it be? #brainstorming @nasponline @burnsmk1 @EricaLembke @cmonique1023 @TPLaSalle @jkellyphd @SchoolPsychLife @DrDVega

Today I had my first meeting about tenure and all of the things I need to do… it was a bit overwhelming after only getting 3 hours of sleep bc of these two but I still could not get enough snuggles and kisses from my #twins when I got home! #twinmomlife #tenuretrack

Hate and fear of people who are not like you… that is the name of the game in Missouri politics. What happened to the purple state I used to live in? @MoDemParty need to do better & get rid of this supermajority. It’s not impossible but will take a change in strategy & verbiage
Missouri is disgusting.

Being pregnant with a high-risk twin pregnancy in #Missouri has been extremely scary! Why? Bc this is the current status of women’s healthcare in MO!! (A pic from my obs exam room taken yesterday). Need I say more? #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights @ACLU @PPFA

Difficult #MorhersDay weekend! Missed my doctoral graduation #twinpregnancy and missing my mom who left us 8 months ago (just 3 months before we found out we were pregnant). #bittersweet Taking some time for myself and finding solace in my amazing family today. 💕💔

Growing two humans is way different than growing one! When I was 20 weeks pregnant with my singleton I wasn’t even showing… but with two the bump is on full display! 🤣🤰 #babybumplove #twinpregnancy #20weekspregnant #boygirltwins

Keep your own power at any and all expense… #mogop
On Thursday, state Rep. Mark Sharp, D-Kansas City, spoke about the broad harm cause by language inserted into nearly every budget bill that would bar the state from contracting businesses that have diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. #moleg
