It felt weird, maybe even futile, to celebrate my achievement at home, esp as the pandemic exacerbates an already vanishing job market. But, I gotta say, this ostentatious display of support from my Dad, who didn't graduate high school, has got me feeling proud of myself today.

I'm still shocked that my tweet went viral!! It has been really amazing to see people all over the world connect w my dad's grand gesture and amplify it w their own stories of hope and perseverance. thanks to y'all for sharing 💞😊
If my mom could have afforded such billboards when I got my bachelor's and my first master"s, she would have plastered them all across the country and embarrassed me but good. Congratulations! You have a great dad.
Congratulations!!! And I mean that to both you and your dad. For you getting you PhD and also to your dad for being the most amazing dad in such different and difficult times. This is what the world needs as we stay at home to save lives
