My 1st hobby before the internet was stamp collecting... for me it was a way to travel the world without leaving my family’s house. I saw the world through the eyes of talented artists who immortalized iconic imagery in print, sent it around the globe and educated millions including myself. Even though time now escapes me, I still love philately but I also now can travel in a way I never thought I could so it’s not just postage stamps anymore 💖 I’m turning art into practice and visiting every country which I have a stamp for. 🇿🇼 See you in soon. 🌍 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjLYZkaJ6kK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s Thursday so you know what that means... it’s interview day so tune in as @hbcustemer ‘s Danielle and I go live on My show; Onboarding Scientists on Amp, is set to go live on Amp on 9/29 at 05:30 PM PDT. Follow me to listen! https://live.onamp.com/EvZiQiHlJtb link in my bio 🤗 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjHEbp-pQrY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My LB @uncommon_favor_357 has told me several times to get an intern... well, I finally listened and it’s been AWESOME! Folks, Trueman Mabumbo has been such a pleasure to work with these last few weeks as I get everything together and ready for my 2022 showcase. Fun fact: I actually 1st met @just_trueman virtually when he won the grand prize after pitching his awesome start up; @dzidzopaden so it’s been awesome to work with him again as we put together what will now be the 6th iteration of my STEAM research & entrepreneurship international competition. Look out for some of the exciting announcements that’ll be coming soon. 🤗 But for now I just want to say, CONGRATULATIONS to this former @starleadershipacademy student, fellow Zimbabwean and awesome entrepreneur for being accepted into one of the top Universities in Ghana; @Ashesi University. I’m so proud of you, man! I know you will continue to do great things onwards & upwards. PS: We won! He chose a STEM major 🙌🏿 so now I need all my mentors & science folks to help me persuade Trueman to come to grad school here 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci1A56ZpDrE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fam, are y’all paying attention to what fellow Claflin University alum; Dr. Jen Nwankwo is up to in Boston?? She went from sitting in classes with us in Orangeburg to matriculating with a Ph.D from Tufts and now 🗣she is a whole CEO & Founder of a pharmaceutical company! 🤯 I’ve been watching the progress of this innovative entrepreneur and have sent texts back and forth with her recently but it’s still just sooooooo impressive to have a former @claflin1869 student be such a formidable force of good in our world! Plus her institution goes above and beyond in recruitment & outreach to students from HBCUs like our hilltop high! 🙌🏿 We have to be prouder + louder about this kind of stuff, fam. If you’re not watching then please go check her out!!!! PS: s/o to fellow Panasik Lab students world over too. Them colony toothpicks really got us out here, y’all! Woo! 🎉😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiyTwXwPgkk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#tbt Finally found this pic when I met the @curly_scientist at #EssenceFest in NOLA earlier this year. Her scicom and recruitment work with @blackinmarinescience is such a inspiration to me 💖 I remember when I 1st took the plunge into the scicom world on the internets back in 2019 I was intimidated but it’s people like @hiphopscienceshow who made me feel welcome to communicating my scientific research to my community on social media spaces. Turns out Dr. Tiara Moore has been wanting an intro to the Hip Hop MD so... hope this does it and y’all can connect at some point 😍 PS: s/o to @maydelife’s aquatic and scuba pursuits.. 😻since they already mad at the #littlemermaid I vote for Maynard to be the next #Aquaman 🤩🌊🧜🏿‍♂️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CivE7CLpcIM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In June I went to this scientific research conference in New Orleans, LA and met some awesome scientists, shared resources and gained a lot of knowledge. 1st time I’d felt back to normal normal.. or whatever that now means in 2022. S/O to @fasebofficial for sending us the pics today 🤗 can you guys spot me? 😎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiagEOjpdZU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎶Elegant Muk with a whole* glow🎶 This picture was taken back in the summer of 2010 when I had my big break into the scientific research industry. This was my 1st research internship at Yale University where I worked under the tutelage of Dr. Saro in Dr. Sung’s lab. My focus at this time was investigating DNA binding proteins and how their interactions have oncological (cancer) indications. I talk about it a lot because it was just such a formative experience & time for me to be an intern at such a prestigious institution in my 2nd year in the country. Haven’t stopped being one of the gworrrrrls doing the werk work ever since then ☺️. It’s why I encourage my interns now to take as many opportunities in life because you’re either going to find something that you’re in love with & successful at or... you’ll learn. It’s a win win 💖 (at New Haven, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVXk4IJUnM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is my sister; Tendai. Since we are the only 2 kids from my parents it’s always been just us 2 against the world. I say she was my 1st friend a lot but she was also my 1st villain 🤣 who taught me conflict resolution and my 1st hero😻 who saved me from the worst versions of myself. As the older sibling, Tendai used to take care of me when we were kids and guide me when I was struggling to find my correct path in life. She never let me slide with taking myself for granted or not living up to my fullest potential. Even after we were separated as kids due to the economic hardships in Zimbabwe, I remember that we would stay on the phone for hours not wanting to stop talking. We discussed our goals, dreams and ambitions in life and I’m forever grateful for that connection. We both have big dreams... in fact it was her who taught me how to imagine possibilities that are outside of my current circumstance. I’m not particularly a sappy person but I love my sister deeply and I am reminded of her tenacity, generous spirit and resilience in soooo many women I’ve met in my life. As a big little brother, it’s taken me a long time to learn how to best advocate for women like her. It’s taken me a long time to unlearn my own internalized sexism and to recognize the inherent privilege I occupy in society as a male. And even though I’m still learning I no longer want to be a theoretical student. I plan to practically make a difference in the lives of women in my community. It’s not because they need me - because truth is often they don’t - but simply because it’s high time we pour into them as much as they have poured into us. Tendai, we’ve already spoken on then phone on this but let me just re-emphasize that I’m so glad that we are not kids anymore... and I am excited that we now get to bring our dreams out of the realm of “dai/if” and into this reality💖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiK2wBuvTeh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎶 Bey is back and I'm sleepin' real good at night 🎶 Happy Birthday 💖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiGZ4azh9iy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This flower is called the flame lily and it’s also #Zimbabwe’s national flower. If I’m being vulnerable and honest, I talk a lot about my home country #🇿🇼 mostly because I don’t want to forget it. I’ve been abroad for so long that I’m now approaching an age where I’ve spent more time outside (13yrs) my motherland vs inside it (19yrs). Time is catching up and I don’t want the failings of my memory to be all I have of my nation left at the end. Hopefully I’m surrounded by a community of fellow Zimbos and friends of Zimbos on my last birthday just like I was on my very 1st. 32 today... 33 tomorrow 🤯 wow. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXwNgOvzGc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
