To do impactful, creative, meaningful work in joyful and supportive collaboration is all I ever wanted as an academic. For this work to then win the Academy of Management Journal’s Best Paper award for 2022 is surreal. Thank you for recognizing this work @AOMConnect

Love this distinction between kindness (honest, ethical and sometimes not nice) and niceness (agreeable, comfortable with the status quo)- such an issue for women in academia. Can’t wait for this book.

Such a deep loss to the Chapel hill and @kenanflagler community.
We're sad to report that Dhruva and Kris Chellani, owners of Classic Carolina, lost their lives in a car accident this week. Our thoughts are with the Chellani family and their Classic Carolina family. Please consider donating to the GoFundMe gofundme.com/f/help-the-chel…

“R u ok” my 12-year old texted me at 3.29pm yesterday. And then “R u safe?” He had come out of lockdown on his first day of 7th grade to the news that UNC was in lockdown, too and that a faculty member had died. “I couldn’t breathe” he said “I thought it could be you”. (1/9)

It strikes me that it is critical for us to ensure that this does not happen again. Vote, vote and vote. Don’t ignore local elections. Vote for candidates who will support gun legislation and win. Support campaign finance reform to see where the money is coming from. (8/9)

PSA- Call your senators every single day. Create noise in the public sphere and don’t quiet down. Sending love to those at UNC for the loss of one of our own. As immigrant faculty members, I imagine we shared many similar hopes for our lives. May his memory be a blessing (9/9)

Once ever so often, research speaks to the core of our experiences. This paper is fantastic- and redefines how invisibility is experienced by women of color. Amazing job @barnini_b and Jen Berdahl

Woot! Breaking my Twitter hiatus to celebrate our amazing students- and my amazing luck to be a part of this brilliant and kind group of scholars 👇
Look out, y’all, because the OB group at UNC has a new Twitter profile, and we’re coming in *hot* with some celebratory news. 🥳 Read on for a brief thread on our class of departing students/postdocs, each of whom is making us SO proud.

As I said to @vijisathy today- this book is blowing my mind. For every academic I know- please buy this book. You might not think you need it, but it will change how you think about teaching and course design.
It’s like my birthday everyday! Thank you @lizard_barnacle @MimiVChapman @KellyFox1219 @SMayesTang @YouTooBio @DrV_biology @ProfShimul, K’s sister, and my fellow cross-country parent for sharing your images/thoughts on #InclusiveTeaching.

Sick to my stomach. When will this end? How can we raise children amidst these inordinate amounts of fear. Targeting Black shoppers in Buffalo and then- children? Parents of color- how are you breathing right now?

Is there a service that would find me leadership coaches for the top management team of an non-profit organization? It’s non-profit so the costs can’t be prohibitively expensive
