I used to play dress up in my mom’s clothes. Now she’s playing dress up in mine.🥹 Born in the 1940s, she never graduated college & wanted to know what is it like to wear a college graduation robe. She thanked me for wearing it & I thanked her for her prayers getting me here. ❤️

Seriously, this was a Big teachable moment that was tricky to navigate! Key takeways: we (scholars) need to be “cautious” not to put “our lens”on research that is NOT about us. We SHOULD evaluate research based on what the researcher intended to do for the people THEY studied.💯

Even if race is not an essential theme in your research, within qualitative research, you should still grapple with the understandings of race, and how you as a researcher are racialized within society and how that influences your epistemological understandings of research.

For ex, if someone is studying Latino/e boys I don’t need to put my Black feminist lens on that research. I then told my students that this is a broader issue in academia because many non-scholars of color are evaluating scholars of colors’ work and are deeming it “illegible”.

Some doubted my desire to get a PhD. At times I doubted it myself. I never knew that I could be a researcher. I never knew the researching Black women could be a career pathway for me. I never knew that conducting critical research could change me scholastically and spiritually,

#WritingBlackness Day 15: Today I wrote down a list of potential journals I can submit my manuscripts to. It was very encouraging to see how many journals there are! My scholarship CAN find a home somewhere. I just have to stay the course & believe in my work along the way.😌

Yes, I’m from Texas, but I’ve never been to a rodeo nevertheless, a Black rodeo. Seeing thousands of Black people in Okmulgee, OK celebrate Black cowboys & cowgirls was beautiful. 🤠🧔🏾‍♂️👩🏾🖤This is one of the reasons why I moved back to the South. #68thBlackRodeo #SouthernLiving
