Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of traveling to KU Leuven for a workshop and conference for a book project focused on breaking down binaries in our understanding of global LGBTQ+ rights! It was a wonderful experience and an amazing group of scholars!

One of the greatest joys in my life as an educator is seeing students receive all the accolades they deserve. My student, Andrew Mendy, is a brilliant young man with a bright future ahead of him!

Some photos taken of my commencement last week celebrating the end of my journey as a graduate student! The photo of my advisor Aarie Glas (@aglas.bsky.social) in particular brings a tear to my eye! Thank you to everyone for being apart of my moment and this whole journey!

I had the fortune of being the first presenter of EIU's IR Seminar! I had the pleasure of starting a discussion that challenges misconceptions the West has when it comes to African politics both generally and academically. I am so proud of all my students who came out to see it 😁
