  • Hi all! Sorry I’ve been so MIA. The last several weeks have been quite the experience as I try to wrap up data collection for my dissertation and prepare for our new little baby (37 weeks and 4 days over here!). Honestly, I might not be able to return to regular posting until after the birth. However, in the meantime I would love you forever if you consider participating in my study 💜💜💜 Please see the criteria below and a link to the study in my bio. . . ___________________ Were you born between the years 1981 - 1996? Do you identify as Black or African American? . . Please consider participating in my dissertation study on how African American Millennials perceive, make meaning of, and cope with historical traumas experienced by earlier generations. . . Your participation would entail the completion a short survey (10-15 minutes). At the end, you can opt into a follow-up interview. Interview participants are entered for the chance to win a $20 Amazon gift card. . . For more information and to access the survey, please go to the link in my bio. Thanks for your support!

  • Hey ScholarMoms! What are your thoughts on side hustles? . . As our family prepares to welcome a new little one, the reality is that creating an additional stream of income could be a nice thing. 💰💰💰HOWEVER, deciding on what kind of side hustle to implement took a lot of thought and, in my case, a bit of planning and investment. Check out the website to read more about my quest for side hustle greatness!!! 😁 Learn from me so you don’t have to figure it all out on your own! . . 🔗 in bio!
  • Happy Monday! Let’s make it happen this week 💪🏽
  • My first kinda major new acquisition for this pregnancy: a new pump!!! This is the Ameda Mya. I know people are all about Spectra these days but I just felt like being different. Plus, look how little and cute it is! I was able to get the cost of my pump covered by insurance, which is awesome. . . I nursed and pumped for our first son so I feel like I have to see how far I make it with this new baby as well. I’m definitely not someone who is going to sugar coat breastfeeding for you. It can be the hardest thing ever. It can also be a beautiful, positive experience. It was incredibly hard for me in the beginning with my son, despite lots of research and prep ahead of time. In hindsight, I’m kinda surprised that I kept going, especially for a whole year (supplementing when needed). 🏅🥇🏅 . . World breastfeeding week is continuing for a few more days. If you’re interested in reading more about my past breastfeeding experience, how I’m prepping to feed our next baby, or how I’m planning to integrate pumping into my academic/professional life, let me know in the comments! 💜🤱🏽💜
  • Hey girl hey! I hope that your August is off to a great start 💕💕 . . Life has been pretty crazy over here at ScholarMoms HQ. I apologize for the inconsistent posts but baking a human can be a bit overwhelming. Yup, that’s right, we’re expecting a baby girl this fall. 😁 Hubs and I shared the news on our personal social media accounts a while ago but I was just dragging my feet about posting over here as well. It’s been rough at times but, as we speak, I’m 28 weeks and moving along. . . Being pregnant has definitely introduced some additional considerations for school and life in general. Please hop on over to the website to read more about my experience so far. Link in bio 💜
