My first GRA (now a prof at Depaul) bought me this shirt in 2019 because I would always tell my students numbers are tools not truth. It was quite literally my stats mantra. I say it so often that my research team adopted it as our lab motto. #Numbers4Justice #QuantCrit #CiteBlackWomen

This slide and section of the book is based on an exchange Castillo and I had on Twitter. I am one of the "advocates" who called her in bc of how her Brookings article dismissed Afro-Latinos' concerns re antiblack erasure. I have also published extensively on the topic. Guess who was not cited?

Just found the slide where Castillo and Strunk use my motto to summarize someone else's QuantCrit Framework. Guess who is no where to be found in their presentation?

"Numbers are tools not truth" is the motto for my lab. I literally branded it. Yet I am not cited in the book being promoted with my tagline. On a subject I have been published on since 2011. #CitationalJustice is #QuantCrit #EduSky #StatsSky #AcademicSky #Blackademics #CiteBlackWomen

I always knew my mother was born in Haiti but found out in my late 30s that both of her parents were also born and raised in Haiti (they fled to DR during Papa Docs reign). Took me a hot second to realize my "Dominican" family and upbringing was Haitian AF. Photo of me and my grandma.

Numbering Race, which I developed nearly 10 years ago, is actually part of the Core Mathematics Curriculum that Sherry holds in such high esteem and is one of the best intro statistics courses at #UTAustin hands down! #BlackStudiesMath #Blackademics #MathforAll #Blacksky #DataScience

Monday, TPPF Senior Fellow Sherry Sylvester called out #NumberingRace in her invited testimony to the #TXLege #HigherEd Subcommittee. She was so excited to find a quant reasoning course with #race in the title that she didn't even bother to read the course description.
