From “behind the bridge” to the presidency of the American Psychological Association: Lessons learned on an unplanned journey.

American Psychologist, Vol 78(5), Jul-Aug 2023, 637-649; doi:10.1037/amp0001181

In this article, I provide an account of my journey from an impoverished neighborhood in the capital of Trinidad and Tobago to the presidency of the American Psychological Association (APA). Using the talent development megamodel as a framework, I recount events from my family, my K–12 schooling, my college years, and my time as an academic. I end with a few of the many lessons learned along the way. I hope that this story about my journey can inspire others who may think they are unlikely to aspire to the APA presidency to not allow their doubts to be a barrier to trying to fulfill their hopes and aspirations.
