Abstract
Academia is a place where time is a commodity. We are under its grip for publications, tenure, and how we manage our daily lives. This chapter shakes up the concept of time by moving between an ancestral experience and the future dreams of a Black woman academic. By moving through a celestial map of past and present, I examine how time, trauma, and self-care are necessary both here and then.
