As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

A Toni Morrison quote embedded in a yellow, black, and white graphic design reads: "I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.’”

An honest conversation about mental health starts with trust. Tools must reflect human expression - especially where storytelling, adaptability, and collective care are foundational. Generative AI, guided by lived consistency and integrity-driven analysis, extends access and strengthens engagement.
