There are so many things that I have learned not only about the @womensfundbham as a result of having been chosen as one of their honorees this year, but also about myself. Often we shy away from speaking our mind, from being truthful in how we feel about sensitive topics, about standing up for oneself when challenged. I'm here to tell you that feeling does not ease with time nor does it ever go away completely. I have come to terms with the fact, however, that it's now, or never. This honor has helped me dig deep and find myself. We are all a work in progress, but working towards self-assurance is never a bad thing, and that's where I am today. I'm pictured here with @melthebelle256 whom I admire and recognize for her tireless work to advance issues of gender equity and excellence in the state of Alabama! Many thanks also to @providencepics for capturing so many special moments at the #smartpartybham this year! ♥️ #womemsupportingwomen #womeninscience #phd #epidemiology #scientist #party #honoringwomen #diversitymatters

Instafriends! Meet, @michaelhansen ! Michael is Executive Director of @gaspgroup and #climate #advocate in Alabama. I've had the privilege of working with GASP as part of their board of directors, and excited to play a role in all the wonderful work they are doing to "advance healthy air and environmental Justice in the greater Birmingham area through education, advocacy, and collaboration". Today we met to touch base, brainstorm, and discuss collaborations. Since joining the GASP board, our household has made some significant changes: reusable water bottle use, limited straw use, more thrifting and less fast fashion, and increased recycling (but less plastic use in general). Those are small changes, but every little bit counts! What things are you doing to make our environments cleaner and greener?? #alabama #greenlife #science #phd #womeninscience #womeninstem #epidemiology #slowfashion

Paying yourself first. Every Sunday, I get an email from the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity. Today's email was titled "Pay Yourself First". In many ways, it's a follow up to yesterday's conversation about self care and prioritizing oneself. Today's, I think, also speaks to the value of setting priorities. The email outlines three main reasons for not paying oneself first: 1) we don't have a daily routine (eg for exercise, writing, homework, etc), 2) we don't block out specific time each day to do the thing we really want to prioritize, and 3) even when we set aside time to do so, we quickly give up that time to accommodate other people’s needs. Does that sound familiar? It does to me! So, what if we did the opposite of what the three things say we don't do and actually did those things?? Yesterday I sat in our library/music room and read How Women Rise (remember my call to read it together??). I was interrupted several times, but I got my reading in. Today I'm working on a grant and planning to get a 1-mile run in (👀@sarah_deemer and @oliviaadventures ). So who's with me? Priorities or what?! 👏👏 FYI: the Diet Coke is for you, @things.i.bought.and.liked ! 😆 #priorities #planning #sundaymotivation #sundays #womeninscience #phd #epidemiology #womeninstem #efficiency #academia #womenempowerment #homedecor #homeinspo #library #musicroom
