The Research World of Dr. V!!

Picture
I am interested in how social contexts shape people of color, especially women's, overall social, emotional, mental, and educational health. In particular, I research and speak about how the family, community, and school influences individuals' (as students and workers) overall academic and socio-emotional development. Those whom experience multiple forms of oppression, like Black girls and women, are society's most vulnerable; however, agency and social supports foster resilience and resistance. My research highlights how we can "educe" individual and collective power via self-determination, cultural affirmation, and oppositional knowledge. 
I am also interested in coaching writers who are interested in writing for social justice.
