I am both preparing for my oral comp exam which is tomorrow and already (re-)thinking through my research questions for my dissertation proposal. Speaking life over the rest of my doctoral journey! No. More. Doubt. On another note, I came up on 6 full sized Moleskins for $14.99 at TJMaxx. My nerdy behind was so geeked! 🤓 #TeamStationery #compexamprep #doctoraljourney 📚📝

I began my first book on August 1st 2015. Today is the day that seemed so far away (if not impossible). I finished my book list. Thank you to everyone and anyone who tolerated me as I stressed out, acted like a hermit, or otherwise told strange/depressing/inappropriate historical facts. I'm sure I'll continue doing that last part. Biggest thank you to my understanding husband who made dinner so I could finish reading/writing on schedule & for being a consistent source of YOU CAN DO IT. Here's all of them. Exam in May. #books #bookstagram #gradschool #AmericanStudies #amst #compexamprep (at Fullerton, California)

Just to be clear: I'm claiming victory over these exams. This will be me come September 1st. The Divine Creator has not brought me this far to leave me. My blessing will not come back void. Also, @celinedion is everything. Yes. These things go together! 😝#compexamprep #ABDorbust #CommunityEngagemeby #scholarpractitioner #WithThePeople #PowerToThePeopleWhenYouSeeMeSeeYou 📚📝🤓✊🏿💅🏾

I am grateful for my flawed, but extensive NYC post-secondary education today. I've taken the invitation to think critically for granted. I know many with years of education who are still waiting for the lecturer's prompt to engage and think. Now I know that some folks come to critical consciousness outside of formal education. That's cool. As for me, I've always questioned everything. But really, through all of the psychic trauma I experienced at some of the most Eurocentric, white supremacist institutions, I was able to amass and refine a critical foundation which I carry with me to this day. Now...Imma really need to rely on it for the next 12-18 months because ish is about to get really real. Imma take what I can get and get the heck out of dodge because I like to dig into the soil. Mouth too slick for the bureaucratic dance...especially at this age. Anyway....Pray for your girl! #NotSoRandomRandomness #IntellectualInquiryInTheTimeOfInstagram #My40PlusFocusIsOff #CompExamPrep #ABDOrBust #FanonOnTheBrain
