Candace and I follow each other on Twitter. Since I began my PhD program, she has taken it upon herself to send me words of encouragement and support, unprompted. She’ll just send a tweet telling me to keep pushing, that I can in fact do it. I found myself looking forward to those little messages, and really appreciating when I got one. She made me feel like there was this little corner of the world rooting for me - even though up to the taking of this photograph, we had never met. She brought a gift for me that day that I gushed over - and have already begun to drink.
Guyanese ‘oman!
