Tomorrow is the 1st dissertation committee presentation of my PhD! This presentation determines whether I get a contract extension for the next 3 years 😬 But I’m feeling pretty good💪🏽 Also, how am I almost a 2nd year PhD? #phdlife #AcademicChatter #PhDChat

Been connecting with and following so many inspiring people in #STEM of late which makes me really happy 🤩 I still do notice that I’m not coming across that many Africans though, whether based in Africa or the diaspora. Where my fellow #AfricansInSTEM at? 👀😅

This year was a mess on so many levels but despite that I can say looking back on this year - I DID THAT. I AM THE GIRL I THINK I AM. I rarely take the time to allow myself to feel proud but I got time today. So here’s a thread celebrating some of my highlights of 2020 ☺️👇🏽 1/n

So to conclude: Don’t let anyone tell you your dreams aren’t valid. This young black Zimbabwean woman refuses to let anyone dictate her dreams, and neither should you 💛 Okay im done, bye 🙈💛 17/17

One of my fave things on Twitter lately is how I’m connecting with such diverse folk from literally every corner of the earth. I’m curious: Where are you from and where are you currently based? Lets start a thread, tryna see how many countries we can come up with 😬👇🏽
