Am I really that retarded or are some people just unreasonable
Trying to apply to some apprenticeships made me realise just how differently people think of my art, my skills, my ideas,…
Photos I dug up from my old accnt. Feel free to use as ref.
My job is so much, but yesterday the honor program had their poster sessions which the kids (literally grad students but we call them kids) work on so hard all year researching and what not. And while I stopped by, a black woman student was presenting and I was just so proud.
She was speaking on the language preferred by black, indigenous, and white ppl when caregivers are treating accidental overdoses (one of the names/terms most black ppl would like to hear caregivers use) and my heart. It just felt good to see a black woman speaking abt something so small but would make such a difference in someone’s life when they’re being treated at a hospital or even on the street. Ofc I congratulated her bc this is why I love student affairs, I get to see black and brown ppl making space for themselves where we never had before. I get to see black and brown ppl be great and speak on their passions like its amazing.
I know I looked like a proud auntie during her presentation even with my mask on! And I was!!!
All this just to say, work is fucking exhausting. But I love seeing my people creating meaningful change in their fields. I know next to nothing about pharmacy, but I know my people are going to be in good hands with these next few years of pharmacist this school will produce. They’re amazing yall.
A parting view of Miami. Nearly two months of solid travel is almost over. Photographer John soon becomes photo editor John. I hope I can do justice to the beautiful men who have shared such incredible beauty with me, us. I send them my love and immense gratitude! ❤️
