Ok since y’all don’t want to arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor, arrest the cop that gave them the wrong address, arrest the cop that didn’t report that the correct suspect had been already locked up, arrest the judge that signed the warrant idk SOMEBODY got to pay.

Hey y’all @BlackinMarSci we doing stuff differently. If you want us to post a job cool, but if it doesn’t have a salary, it’s a no. This reads as, “wage inequalities here” and that usually doesn’t work out too well for Black people, we won’t perpetuate it. #BlackInMarineScience

#BeforeYouCallTheCops I’m Tiara, like air Uh. My favorite color is pink. My grandma raised me. I’m a woman. I cry when people cry on tv. I’m a scientist. I look at my boogies before I flick them. I’m pansexual. I love hot Cheetos. I’m black. I can breathe. Don’t take that away.

From K5 until now I have been on the pursuit of becoming Dr. Moore. The bumps along the way were outweighed by the growth of myself as a person and a scientist. This is my dream realized, to finally answer the age old question, “what does a doctor look like?” Me! 👩🏽‍⚕️ #blackandstem

The best part of my day is talking to older Black marine scientists that the field had discarded and disempowered and giving them hope again. I showed one of them our #BIMSTV channel and they started crying, they were so proud. I asked them to do an episode and I saw true joy 🤩

Last year I was told not to make any big waves and that marine science was too small for me to call out people with big grants cuz we would “neeeeed” them. We then wrote the Tidal Wave by ourselves and it’s now #NSFFunded soooo you either ridin the wave OR gettin washed up 💯👀

I’m so embarrassed by @UCLAEEB this is the 3rd time (that I know of) they have asked a Black woman to speak and refused an honorarium upon request and told US we should be honored...that they are trying to diversify the seminar series. NO this is not it and y’all must do better.
