Keep the 14th year anniversary of earning a doctoral degree!
Today marks 14 years since I got my PhD from Penn State University. When I look back at that experience, look back at the lessons learnt, one thing stands clear, that even if I loose everything today, I can rebuild from the ground up because of the people that helped to shape the story I…

The prayers, many of faith, determination and belief in liberation ultimately lead to communities building out of helplessness, emptiness as they embark on journey towards the…

Not when all experiences matter. In the words of Toni Morrison, what we need now is a heroic global health movement, one assertive,…
