“When conducting a focus group, take group dynamics into account. Whenever you gather two or more people into a single interview, these individuals will rarely act as true equals. Some participants are likely to dominate the conversation. Others may be reluctant to express their views, perhaps because they‘re shy or feel uncertain about the validity of their perspective.”

"What would an ideal relationship be like for me? Who am I but common and collected desires bound by sociocultural norms? What is a 'normal' relationship? What kind of role models do I have for alternative and radical relationships? What are my boundaries, self-imposed or otherwise? What am I scared of?" -Wendy-O Matik, "Redefining Our Relationships"
Day 14: #time
I am grateful for all the time the fellow members of my virtual thesis/dissertation accountability group spend working with me, commiserating with me, and supporting me!

Working on my dream bookshelf 🖤 (before)
Challenge! A friend with the initials DE is doing our local library‘s reading challenge and one of the categories is “an author with your initials.” To make it extra challenging, my friend wants to only read books by women and POC. Who‘ve you read and enjoyed with the initials DE?
The study rooms in the new branch of the public library have dry erase walls, so I left this celebration/thank you message on Friday. Came in this morning, and the librarian told me they'd posted it to the staff website!
