Re-energized after spending time at my alma mater chatting with some Wellesley College students. #mapoli

Yesterday was my first time attending my college reunion, marking 10 years since I graduated in 2016. @Wellesley has a remarkably strong reunion culture- a testament, as we go through life, to realizing what a unique four years we had at the best women’s college in the country.  A pivotal part of reunion is the alumnae parade. Nothing could have prepared me for the depth of emotion I felt experiencing this for the first time.. I’ve never spontaneously combusted into heavy tears like this before. We organized by class year and congregated by our designated spots along the parade route, which follows the main road through our beautiful, idyllic campus. The oldest class starts us off, and each successive class joins the parade as it passes.  I am still trying to find the words for the overwhelming feeling, standing arm in arm with my college roommate and best friend, watching the CLASS OF NINETEEN FIFTY ONE parade towards us. These women are being pushed in wheelchairs, they are on walkers, they can hardly wave, and there are hundreds of fellow alumnae screaming and cheering and chanting for them. At 10 years out, a whole life still stretches out before us. God willing, decades upon decades of love, heartbreak, marriage, divorce, children, grandchildren, death, successes, failures, joys, disappointments, and LIFE still stretch out before us. We see this in every successive class as they pass by: the class of 1951, 61, 71, 76, 81, 86, 91, 96.. 2001, 2006, 2011, like a tape on rewind.  So as we advance to our 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 70 ! year college reunions, we’ll get to parade longer and longer through our shared campus, we will be cheered on by the women who simultaneously represent the future and our past selves..it is an odd feeling knowing this. I will be back, my Wellesley friends will be back, and we will parade down the same little road, but a little longer each time, with a lot more life lived each time.

Thank you @Wellesley College community and Zimbabwean friends from near and far. It was packed and standing room ONLY. Thank you for reading my work. Democracy dies when citizens stop participating. Never give up on democracy …

Woke up early to sign a few books! Book Launch Day at @Wellesley College Forgive the excessive posting that’s about to happen! The joy! The Joy! The Joy! (My sister insisted I sign books before going to the gym).

MIT researchers developing injectable chip for brain disorders #NBTintheNews via @UPI upi.com/Health_News/2025/11/…

I took my @Wellesley students on a chocolate tour in Cambridge for our second to last class of the semester. It was delightful. We learned about the history of Cambridge, Harvard square, chocolate, ice cream, gelato & cold chocolate. We had fun and I will miss this class a lot.

Media Lab Prof. @deblinasarkar59 led a team of researchers from @MIT, @wellesley, and @harvard to develop tiny nanoelectronic devices, a billion times smaller than a grain of rice, that autonomously recognize and target diseased regions in the brain, and self-implant to provide precise brain stimulation. The technology, which they call “circulatronics,” holds the potential to make therapeutic brain implants accessible to all by eliminating the need for surgery. Their work is published in @NatureBiotech. news.mit.edu/2025/new-therap…

Our @Wellesley week of chocolate concluded with the celebration of our new cacao tree. @nytimes headline is gloomy but not untrue. I am working on verifying the numbers but we think one harvest from a grown tree only produces enough cacao for 4 bars of chocolate. Spooky.

Not surprised to see the outcomes of this study! So proud of all my Wellesley sisters and the many ways they have made the world a better place. #TheWellesleyEffect @Wellesley - New research demonstrates outsized impact of a Wellesley… wellesley.edu/news/new-resea…

Wellesley College, my alma mater, celebrated its sesquicentennial. Pauline and Henry Fowle Durant founded the college in 1870. 150 years since Wellesley College opened its doors to 314 students, it has educated many women who have made a difference in the world. @Wellesley

Yesterday was very special! A room full of incredible writers gathered for the #massbookaward. I'm honored that "We Refuse" won for the best nonfiction book. I love living in MA, it gets a lot of things right and I put literature on that list. @MassBook @SealPress @Wellesley
