As a black woman on a national science show, I intentionally wear braids and my curly Afro to normalize black hair in stem. In this pic, Iโm wearing cornrows to study plants being sent to space at NASA.

Dear PhDs, You don't have to feel guilty for not being where you thought you would be at this point in life. Life sometimes has different plans for us and we must learn to accept. If you're making efforts and not giving up, know that you will soon reach where you want to be.

Germany has agreed to pay Namibia โฌ1.1bn over the historical Herero-Nama genocide. Between 1904 and 1908, German colonial troops killed, tortured and displaced tens of thousands of Herero and Nama after the tribes rose up against colonial rule. https://t.co/V2xrmriroL
