2016: Was unsure about my academic future because of the SSA error after my father's death & was expected to intern at Harvard.
2021: With the community's help, I was able to stay in school, graduate, run a community for Black space enthusiasts, & now a PhD student.
2016: Defended my PhD, moved to a new city to start my postdoc, got married, worried about jobs
2021: Moved to a new city to start a permanent position, bought a house, worried about COVID
Both were big eventful years!
