hi evry1!

im pleased to share that i will be at the University of Oregon for another year as a postdoctoral fellow in African American Literatures and Cultural Productions. this position will give me experience teaching af am lit, support to continue my reseach on ratchet aesthetics, and more time to apply for my next position.

this journey has been tough for me emotionally with me having many restless nights of wondering if i belonged in academia, if my writing and research was actually of substance, and if i was an effective teacher. i think the biggest thing for me is that i compare myself too much to people who have years of experience. i can't say that i am getting better at not doing that but im at least recognizing that its going to take me time and a lot of effort to get to where i am supposed to be in this career field.

many thanks to all my friends, family, and mentors who have encouraged me. i am indebted to u all💕
