My question is if you see the lack of the diversity in the field of psychology as a problem but aren’t willing to address the systemic reason for why that is, then how exactly are you advocating for change? What are you doing for real?
The reframe!!! Put taking care of people at the center and hold toxic profit driven systems and so called “mental health” industries responsible for the despair THEY create!!

Hi #AcademicTwitter and social psych friends! I’m so excited and proud to share this resource that @DanielJSanji and I have been working on for months - an Applying to Grad School Guide for Psychology (non-Clinical) programs! (1/2) acrobat.adobe.com/link/track?uri…
Sending love and encouragement to those who have been working hard but have yet to see the results you’re hoping for. May your soul’s harvest arrive and may you find fulfillment along the way.

I was inspired by @Ralyoyo to make an application business card and the process was so fun! I am applying to #ClinicalPsychology programs this year and I am primarily interested in studying anxiety disorders in young people.
What does liberation in the field of psychology actually look like?

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people. The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.…
For those in grad app prep mode, Just a reminder of a couple helpful docs: 1. Here's a list of statements of purpose (SOPs) of previous applicants that I annotated to explain the process of putting together an effective SOP: docs.google.com/document/d/1Ar…
Here's the google sheet for prospective students to access: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
✨ #AcademicTwitter Though it’s still summer, it’s never too early to think about applying to #GradSchool! As both a former grad student & now professor, I’ve learned a bit of what’s helpful when applying to grad programs. Here are some that come to mind: 1/10
Black women this is for you 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
After hours of labor & love, I am happy to share a resource guide for #mentalhealth clinicians to culturally work with #LGBQ+ POC. I genuinely hope it benefits both clinicians and clients. Share widely, link is below. DM for questions🏳️🌈#AcademicTwitter drive.google.com/file/d/1TmOlJZ…
Whole college scandal just three years of Aunt Becky from Full House and other parents buying their kids way in to college and it’s affirmative action people still think was taking spots lol
Imagine being the only Black person in a multiple college classes and being told that you and people that look like you don’t deserve to be there and that you stole someone’s seat. That’s incredibly offensive.
affirmative action wasn't filling colleges with folks of color, that ain't the issue. the issue is what it signals - that structurally our systems are unequal. this is part of a larger project to undermine any idea that suggests racism is built into the design of this country
