My life’s light”
I Love that ‘Bout Myself and Us”
Gendered racism poses a significant threat to Black, Latina, and Afro-Latina girls’ self-concept. In the current study, we combined self-definition theory and the integrated model of ethnic-racial identity and critical consciousness to explore how these girls and young women critically reflected on gendered racism in relation to their identity beliefs and sense of self. We used plática methodology to talk with 20 Black ( n = 7), Latina ( n = 3), …
Imagine Growing Up Thinking the US is the Best Opportunity”
Immigrant origin youth are among the largest growing population in the United States of America (U.S.), and are important political agents for social change. This study examines how these youth engage in interracial solidarity, particularly in digital spaces. This study used reflexive thematic analysis to analyze the Twitter posts of 36 immigrant origin youth (ages 18–23; 62.5% women) from African/Afro-Latine, Latine, and Asian origins. We examin…

Specifically, we consider the extent to which Black mother’s descriptions about supporting their children’s freedom involve new cultural and social norms that integrate personal well…

To address this gap, the current study draws on Black feminist epistemology to present a multidimensional framework of Black college women’s sociopolitical development. Using consensual qual…

Although Black students may share race-related experiences at predominantly White institutions (PWIs), they are a heterogeneous community with diverse identity beliefs, goals, and expectations about college. In the current study, we foreground how Black students at PWIs understand their racialized identities in relation to one another and within the broader university context. Drawing from interview data with 32 Black undergraduate students, we e…
