Saying see you later is hard. So is ending something that is, has been, and remains near and dear to one’s heart. Luckily, our friends at #SisterPhD gave us a roadmap for how to do this. In their see you later post, the #SisterPhD team wrote, “Seasons come and go, but what remains are the [...]
Over the last few years, we've had the privilege of sharing an amazing chunk of blog posts informing how we experience our lives and think about ourselves and others as Black women.
