Black Feminism as the lense to view contemporary work describing the female body at the intersection of race, autonomy, spatial arts.

Designing your PhD

Designing my PhD means that I am creating pedagogy around

  • The study of craft

  • Black Feminist practice, literature, and community building

  • Contemporary art within the African Diaspora

Stay tuned for the how-to’s and the don’t(s) of pursuing higher education and insisting upon the curatation of study in hyperfocused fields for the sake of representation and space making + holding for new scholarship.
