Today is the day. On Mom’s birthday 💛 I defend my dissertation:

Tell Me a Story About Home.
Thank you to everyone who’s poured into me.
Send up a prayer if you can.

#HealingYear #ForMom #AlmostDrChamblee

In 24 hours, all roads converge—on Mom’s birthday.
Grief. Heartache. Every page, every prayer—it all leads to tomorrow, May 20, 1–3 CST.
This defense is for Mom, for Godiva, for every version of me that survived.
#DissertationDefense #HealingYear

In less than 3 days, I defend my dissertation: Tell Me a Story About Home: Black Masculinity Through the Lens of Place, Relationships, and Discourse in the MCU.

This work asks: How do place, relationships, and discourse shape identity?

Almost Dr. Chamblee.

This fire in me is not new. It is remembered. It is returned. And now—it is mine.
