Working for women and girls of color
My work is a reflection of a lifelong commitment to ending racial and gender-based violence.
RESEARCH & EDUCATION FOR SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION
I train and educate organizations to do the work that students spend time and money learning in academia. Through educative trainings, people learn community-driven research, data analysis, and political education. I also develop and consult on community-driven research designs, projects, qualitative data collection tools and analyses. These projects provide organizations and people with access to tools that help them examine and change real-life contexts for organizational, institutional, state, and structural needs. We use research for social transformation at ALL levels and everywhere we can.
