My middle school decided to feature little ol' me in their Black History Month display last month! 🀯🀯🀯 I hadnt been back in 17 years but just so happened to be able to stop by and see it and hang out with some of my favorite teachers who were still there! I also got to meet the πŸ€–robotics clubπŸ€– and tell them about my research and answer all of their amazing questions. Then, one student showed me his award winning science fair project! (He tried to ask me for advice...like I know physics lmaoo) These kids are insanely impressive and leagues ahead of me when I was in their shoes...I was probably still eating glue or something 🀣 What a wild and extremely emotional experience πŸ₯°πŸ˜­πŸ₯°πŸ˜­ So many teachers and mentors have helped me throughout my life and so glad I could be a bit of inspiration to the kiddos! πŸ₯°πŸ€©

Is there a Dr. on board?! (I won't be able to save your life, but I can teach you about robots/AI and the wonders of Matlab) After spending almost half my life as a student at @georgiatech , I can finally say I'm OFFICIALLY Dr. Kantwon, and that I'm P.H.inishe.D! Wild to think that I am now the first ever PhD in my entire lineage, and only ~1.2% of all Computer Science PhDs are held by Black folk. Huge thanks to everyone who helped along the way. A special thanks to my sister @rtikulit and "sister" @pugh.pearl for organizing an amazing party! On to the next chapter...that is unfortunately filled with having to pay rent because I can't live in a freshman dorm anymore :(

I love singing and teaching, and my PhD work is with robots πŸ€–. For quite a while, I've had this idea of combining them, and I've finally figured out all of the technical aspects of getting everything working! So, now I'm starting a TikTok (hopefully the platform doesn't get banned? 😬) of me singing/interacting with robots and teaching people about artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and computer science in general! It's like being a knock-off Bill Nye 🀣. Feel free to follow, share with others, and provide suggestions!! All social media links are in my bio.
