This is @nolan_syreeta. Proudly boldly Mad Black & Disabled. I am claiming Mad as a disability pronoun for the 1st time not because I am angry all the time. Those who know me, know. 😂 I am Mad at being left behind by the current construct of mental health

Let me get level real with you all right now. I am getting Spravato treatment, nasal derivative of ketamine, 2x a week because I still struggle with my will to live. I am struggling with one of my courses through @ElsevierNews Evolve. I sleep in my car every Monday night. Yet

What mentors have made your life easier in academia?
Answer any or all questions at your ease, but please help me out for #BlackHistoryMonth2024 to have a bit more engagement than me.
Please @BlackInMH, @blackinxnetwork, & @DisabledStem

@DougZiedonisMD
@Tinu
And many more
Love,
