Social Media Participation: #BlackInNeuroRollCall

If you identify as #BlackInNeuro, introduce yourself and tell us what you’ve been up to in a TikTok video, Instagram reel, and/or Twitter video!

************************************ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ****************************************

Share a video in the form of a Tiktok or reel on Twitter or Instagram. In your video, share who you are, what you do, and fun-fact! Remember, make it short and simple, and keep jargon to a minimum. Please caption your videos as well, to ensure that folks who are hard of hearing can benefit from your explanation! Tik tok and Reels have caption capability built in, and we suggest Clipomatic as a captioning app for iOs, and AutoCap for Android.

To give you an example, check out this tik tok from #BlackInNeuroWeek Organizer, Emmanuella Bassey!

AND/OR share a tweet with a selfie, or an instagram post with the following text:
HI! I’m _________name_________, I’m a __insert career level and affiliation here___, and I __briefly describe what you do or study _______.

Since last year’s #BINW, I
____insert amazing things you’d like to share____.
We also want to highlight ALL of your intersections, so please add whatever hashtags describe you best, so we can help you find community (#BlackDisabledInNeuro, #BlackQueerInNeuro, #BlackEnbyInNeuro, etc.).

Finally, make sure to use the hashtags #BlackNeuroRollCall and #BlackInNeuroWeek and tag @BlackInNeuro! When posting images, add alternate text so people who have vision impairments can participate fully in the community.
