The decision to leave America isn’t born from a single moment but from a lifetime of accumulated experiences. While my own department has been exceptionally supportive, the broader landscape of academic DEI reveals a troubling pattern. As a Black academic who has extensively studied systemic racism and trauma, I’ve concluded that self-preservation sometimes manifests as the conscious choice to flourish elsewhere. The psychological toll of navigating American racism ― the constant hypervigilance, the burden of representation, the exhausting dance between visibility and invisibility ― exacts a price too high to ignore.

A few days before, I’d had my regular hair appointment at home to get my roots touched up and my hair blown out. So by the day of my hair appointment for the show, I was feeling like I looked good. I’m trying to use the new haircut to explore a new mindset and new choices. I’m trying bolder makeup options I usually wouldn’t consider, different necklines, and am accessorising with earrings in a way that I haven’t in a long time. And maybe most important, I’ve learned that if anything is true, it’s that hair really will grow back.
