Genuinely such a joy and privilege to attend #CMRS2026 last week. I presented some of my work on developing multiracial IATs, met so many incredible researchers, and learned so much! I'm already excited for the next one :)

I suppose I should also say something about my research. I presented on how multiracial children respond to racism in their own families. Grateful for the conference theme (Critical Healing) that gave me space to think about this topic differently.

Feeling beyond fortunate to have spent the last few days at the 8th Critical Mixed Race Studies Association Conference in L.A.

This was my 3rd CMRS (though my 1st was virtual). It's only gotten better each year!
