Winning word was Murraya.

Named after Johan Andreas Murray (1740-1791).

Murray studied at Germany's University of Göttingen, where he was later appointed professor of medicine and botany and director of the Göttingen botanic garden

I’m confused though because she’s oppressed?

Yes, she is very impressive. Kudos to her and her parents for that work ethic, she’ll be successful in any venture!

Good for her, she seems very intelligent.

Avant-garde said she hopes to become an NBA coach someday or work with NASA, the Times-Picayune reported. She added that she might also pursue neuroscience, a topic she learned about while listening to the NPR podcast “Invisibilia.”




Good for her. And not a single white person is lurking behind bushes to stop her. The only threat to her achieving this is single motherhood.
