Now that the ink has dried and I’ve bought swag, happy to announce that F2024 I’ll be joining UCLA as an assistant professor in sociology!
The journey has been real & I’m overjoyed that things are falling into place.
“Big girl job” loading, now just have to finish this PhD 🤗

My emotions feel too big for words. 6 years in a PhD program, but really 27 years in the making. I’M OFFICIALLY A DOCTOR … 🥹 every part of me (first-gen, black woman, person living w lupus, person in a family impacted by the criminal legal system,etc.). I’m SO HAPPY

A bright spot in otherwise difficult times:
I received UT’s top dissertation award. The topic is as sociological as it is personal, so this recognition means the world. It’s an indescribable feeling to transform a troubling familial experience into something beautiful 🦋

NEW PAPER ❗️With a network approach we find what race and discrimination-health scholars have said for decades - discrimination makes people feel bad, not the other way around ! We also find that those bad feelings linger in a specific set of emotions.

Submitted my first academic articles this week 😎. Decided that my happiness won’t be contingent on the R’s (revise & resubmit or reject) because whatever happens, it’ll be a first and I’m proud. That being said, time to celebrate 🥳🙌🏿

oh wow... MA thesis finally published!! All about the mental burden of college debt for enrolled Black and Latinx students.
Best part was receiving a "first pub" gift from my grandparents. Now let's see if I can get them to read it 😅

1.Find enduring relevance of mutual aid (kin and friend) networks
2.Advocate for joint focus on making ends meet and coping with violence
3.Identify patronage/clientelist networks and popular protest as complementary problem solving strategies

Some days I find myself lacking the understanding my family deserves for not inquiring about grad school (gs), or a project I’m excited about, or an occurrence that troubled me.. then I remember just how far removed gs is & how even I struggle to explain its peculiarities

So witnessing, as deployed by BW in their everyday lives, is a pathway to visibility, an act of resistance, and a resource for future justice-seeking processes

The ongoing preparations for police encounters that Black women make take a toll on mental health, while advocacy for justice and reform is linked to positive mental health.

Highly variable in form (physical, virtual, institutional), witnessing strives to promote immediate safety during encounters + long term accountability within policing and carceral institutions

My coauthor and I find that they adapt a counter-surveillance technique historically used by black communities >> witnessing
Witnessing is informed by & seeks to address Black women’s legal estrangement (or delegitimization as victims)
