I'll also share while I was at Spelman, I felt like I received a really, really rigorous STEM education, I was a chemistry major and a math minor. But I also had a very supportive environment of professors and faculty and, and community that wanted me to succeed, which I think really, really helped for my development. And you mentioned black female scholars, and you were the first African American to receive a PhD in environmental health sciences from Emory University. D program in environmental health sciences, almost eight years later, which I we just talked, I finished and graduated. And it wasn't specific to rest, but it was what's traditionally I would say, a, you know, kind of a macho sport or whatever.
