@DrKarnadJani thank you for upholding the importance of us, public scholars. Our work thrives within the school hallways, hair salons, and community centres that we live in. Research living beyond the wall of the university is indeed "academic". @csa_sociology

In my latest piece, “At Mummy’s Feet”, I advance a Black motherwork approach to arts-informed research.
The “Symposium on Anti-Racist and Anti-Colonial Theorizing” has been published in The Canadian Review of Sociology / Revue canadienne de sociologie (CRS/RCS) (May 2023 Issue).

"I realized that something had to change with the way that Black girls thought about themselves and their relationship with STEM." Read my latest interview with @ShayleGraham. She inspires us to create STEM programming grounded in Black girl joy and genius.
Black girl embraced by her community, has blossomed into a teacher activist. I am never ashamed of the roads I walked, experiences I’ve had and the challenges I’ve faced. I am a product of my environment. I’m proud of that. @AnimaWrites etfovoice.ca/issue/summer-20…
@ETFOeducators thank you for the platform to highlight a leader who is reimagining STEM education for Black girls across Ontario.

My four-part graphic short story series is an arts-informed research study on African-Caribbean mamas as literacy learners in Toronto.
This series is an ode to their stories, creativity & leadership.
Read Story 1. Link in bio.
I shared my research at the University of the West Indies (Mona). I discussed how we, African Caribbean mamas, use oral storytelling as a resistance strategy in Canadian schools. Grateful for the opportunity to present virtually in my homeland.
