Long time no post!

Where have I been? School, work, school, work - it is certainly that time of the semester when things have overnight turned into constant deadlines, presentations, papers and exams (oh my). In just over a month I'll be done with the semester and starting my Masters Paper. Oh the joys of almost being done with graduate school!

Several VERY exciting things have happened over the past few weeks. Today, my dear friend Fairley Mahlum delivered a healthy baby girl named Annabel Grey. I can't wait to meet her and I'm so proud of Fairley!

I just returned last night from Denver where I attended my first American Public Health Association conference. The event was massive and thru all the presentations and posters I found inspiration in the intersection of public health and social justice. I'll have a blog coming out soon thru CapacityPlus and will be sure to put the link up on this blog.

I want to take a moment on this public space of "the internet" to thank my friends and family. I have never known life to be so busy and days to be so full of challenges but you all are supportive in every facet of my life. I have to remind myself a lot these days of why I am working so hard and of the many blessings in my life - including you all! Asante sana!
