As a grad student, I had few interactions with Black faculty. I admired them from and immersed myself in their work. I met @DrSullivanAL at my first @nasponline convention in 2009 and greatly appreciate her willingness to nuture a young scholar #Academics4BlackLives #Love4Mentor

While cross-cultural mentoring is effective, there& #39;s something special about connecting with other Black women and watching how they successfully navigate white professional spaces. I& #39;m grateful for the sista scholars in school psych who& #39;ve paved the way.

Thank you for your work and leadership. I strive to pay it forward and inspire the next generation of Black women psychologists in the same way you& #39;ve inspired me!
