We examined how the broader social context affects Black parents’ engagement with early childhood home visiting programs - which have substantial evidence and federal support, but are plagued by low take-up.

And another dissertation paper is (finally) out! This paper was inspired by the rapidly #gentrifying #Durham neighborhood I lived in during my Ph.D. @DukePsychNeuro and @DukeSanford 🏘️.

Our findings show that this mismatch between WORDS v. ACTIONS matters. Communicating support for diversity while doing little to redress systemic inequities will not reduce racism-related gaps in school achievement and may exacerbate mental health disparities.

Many schools (13%) say they value diversity (e.g., “we inspire students to become life-long learners who will embrace diversity"), but still had large racialized discipline gaps & disparities in gifted education placement; plus a mostly white teaching force and student body.

So glad to see one of my dissertation papers out! .🎉🤩.Focusing on 690 schools in North Carolina, we coded school mission statements as valuing diversity (or not).
So excited this paper led by @LeerJane is out officially! We coded SO many diversity statements for these schools, a true team effort with amazing @DukePsychNeuro undergrads involved!! Read more below!.

Forever grateful to my amazing mentors @agpines, @sarahegaither, @Gen_Pov, Rebekah Levine Coley, and @samteixeira10, and to my *MOM* who flew out and helped me care for barely 2-month-old Flora while I prepared for an academic job talk. It takes a village 💙🌎(5/5).
