Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging (DEIB), and Innovation (DEIBI)

As a scientist with multiple stigmatized identities, enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and innovation (DEIBI) within psychological science is important to me. 

Ongoing demands for equity and justice guide my research career, teaching, and service. As the co-founder of Here and Queer (HQ), the Network for Multiracial Scholars (NOMS), and the Intersectionality Working Group, I am both personally and *professionally* committed to creating inclusive professional spaces for people like us, people who have been ostracized, outcasted, and excluded from academic spaces. 

I am also dedicated to amplifying the voices of marginalized scholars and stand in solidarity with Academics for Black Survival and Wellness, and committed to fostering meaningful changes within academia and society at large. 

Please join me in continually creating space for growth, humility, and instruction (not only in psychological science but also in our daily lives). And thank you to my co-conspirers, colleagues, and closest confidants! 

Vive, vive, si, se puede! Live, live, yes, we can!
