A six-week research internship where, as a collaborative, my team and I analyzed Black feminist thought, critical race theory, and intersectionality to develop and conduct a research project that advances racial justice, gender equity, and Black girl praxis and influences policy. This experience equipped me with the tools to propose, interpret, conduct, and present research as well as instilled the theoretical and methodological training to carry out an array of critical projects, including: - Developing and implementing research projects that advance racial justice, gender equity, and Black girl praxis. - Examining the ways in which Black girls and women thrive and resist in the face of policing in schools, state-sanctioned violence, a public health pandemic, interpersonal violence, and sustained economic adversity. - Interpreting the individual power and collective agency of Black girls to shape policy discourse going forward.
