“In this more realistic definition, perseverance can include self-care and rest. Knowing when to take a break or prioritize self-care is a practical strategy for maintaining cognitive health in the face of challenges.” —DKE @hamplab @BlackInNeuro tinyurl.com/4dr7jafc
First time attendee. @AlterDementia @hamplab @BlackInGeron

New publication alert. 🚨 Our findings reveal that, contrary to expectations, high levels of both grit and active coping may paradoxically exacerbate SCD symptoms in Black men, suggesting a complex relationship between these factors. @hamplab doi.org/10.1002/bsa3.7…
I am so proud of our all Black women symposium at #GSA2024. Thank you to everyone who came out to support us. Let’s go again next year! @citeblackwomen @BlackInGeron @blackinaging
On October 26, 2024, our lab will participate in a workshop on how civic disengagement can be an (in)direct risk factor for dementia in immigrant and refugee communities. We hope to see you there! @Dkesiaka
Afrofuturism is a way of thinking & creating knowledge that centers those at the margins of society. It is a way of excavating the stories we know to be true but have been erased from the mainstream. Join me Oct 3 in collaboration with @SoBlackNeuro & @BlackInGeron.
We are attending the #BIGGweek2024 organized by @BlackInGeron. Check out their page for detailed information on all the activities lined up for the week. See you there.
We hope you are as excited as we are about #BIGGWeek2024. @CGster @rolandjthorpe @ManlyEpic @pbaJackson @pshrink @DrTamaraBaker @Nina_BSil @NIHAging @NCOAging @justiceinaging @ASAging @geronsociety @AmerGeriatrics @Dkesiaka @SamuelLJackson @AARP @agingwhileblk @PRBA_ISR
