Yallllll my high school bio teacher who removed me from her AP bio class cuz she “didn’t think I could do the work” just hit me up to write about my success story for the school 😩🥺 how do I tell her it started by me trying to prove her wrong by majoring in biology in college 🧐.

So what’s #BlackInTheMud all about. THIS PIC. I was doing field work when “Karen” told me I shouldn’t be there and she would call the cops. Trembling, I explained I was a scientist, she then asked could she help me, so I told her to take this pic 🥴🥴 #BlackInBiosphere
We are using #BlackInTheMud to highlight the experiences Black scientists have in the field. Similar to #BlackInTheIvory we hope this will reveal the true but untold stories of resilience and survivorship as we try to simply be #BlackInGeoscience. #BiGWeek #BlackinGeoscienceWeek.
