From Me-Search to We-Search
This article examines the process of forming an intergenerational mentoring relationship among three Black women scholars at different levels of academic leadership in higher education. Over the course of a summer, we came together to critically examine how our collective journey as leaders shifted from "me-search" to "we-search." In the spirit of Ubuntu or "I am because we are," our we-search centers Black indigenous knowledge that honors a comm…
When Black Is [Queen]
Education elders must engage next generation Black thinkers and doers in addressing the complex global and spiritual issues in education today. Deep listening to the young is absolutely essential to imagining a future that is worthy of Black engagement and brilliance. In this article, I bear witness and honor the righteous version of endarkened feminisms being created by young sister artists and thought leaders. As an Elder in education, I believ…
Still Following Our North Star
Qualitative researchers often engage inquiry with attention to the mind, a bit to the body, and scant attention to the spirit, ignoring the complex role that our inner lives play in conducting research. Black/endarkened feminist scholars center (re)search as an academic, political, and spiritual endeavor that necessitates the ethical practice of (re)membering, Thus, acknowledging spirit is at the center of inquiry, a tool of survival, and self-de…
Re)membering blackness, (re)membering home
As teachers in the US context, we have spent precious little time considering what it would mean to be prepared and ready for Black children. In such readiness, (re)cognition of the spirit and spirituality of Black people would be central in understanding and preparing for our children and families. This article asks the question: What would it mean for teachers to be ready for the spirit of Black children in schools in the way that is witnessed …
I am because we are
Given the clarion call for culturally relevant and sustaining practices, it is often assumed that Black women have a deep well of knowledge about Black history and culture to draw from. However, given that today's Black teachers were mostly educated post-integration, they were rarely afforded accurate representations and cultural knowledge of Black histories, heritages, and contributions in the US and the world. This education also did not includ…
You Are Because I Am
Racial disparities in the demographic composition of K-12 students and teachers has led university teacher education programs and school districts to endeavor to prepare all teachers, especially White teachers, to work with diverse students. However, often sidelined in these initiatives are the challenging tasks of preparing, recruiting, and retaining teachers of color as well as the challenging truths about the experiences of aspiring and practi…
To experience joy
Joy can be defined as a feeling of happiness, well-being, success, or delight (Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/joy, 2014). It can also be seen as the source or cause of such delight. However, according to Alice Walker, there is another articulation of joy from an endarkened feminist perspective that speaks to feminist struggles within and against our varied oppressions: ‘Resistance is the secret of jo…
Let Steadfastness Have Its Full Effect
In this article, I return to a previously published work to reflect on the moral, methodological, and spiritual imperatives of qualitative inquiry for Black feminist researchers. Marshaling the West African icons of Ananse and Yaa Asantewaa, this article illuminates how racism and sexism always already position the Black woman scholar as both (re)searcher and (re)searched in both sites of inquiry and as objects under study. This article makes vis…
To stand steadfast and love Blackness in these political times
This article casts a critical eye on the political moment in the US and the world, ushered in by the election and governance of a person who, in my opinion, enacts openly racist, sexist, authoritarian and narcissist views in both his decisions and being as the US President. The author argues that this is also a moment to stand in steadfastness about Blackness and Black identity globally, as an affirming and loving counter-narrative and way of bei…
To Address Suffering That the Majority Can't See
This chapter explores how both historically and in contemporary times of escalating violence against our bodies, minds, and spirits worldwide, Black women lead, love, and live within contexts of suffering.
Turning the Ships Around
In this case study of a young Black woman educator from the southern United States, I examine how her engagements with Africa and African knowledges, culture and womanhood in Ghana, West Africa substantively transformed her selfhood and her ability to respond in cultural relevant and accurate ways in her teaching of Black children. From her story and the larger data corpus of this study, I argue for the notion of (re)membering as endarkened femin…
We Are Still Here
Since our brutal arrival on America's shores through the transatlantic slave trade, Black people have understood and experienced constant and continual oppression, in the US context and around the globe. The recent deaths of unarmed Trayvon Martin and Sandra Bland at the hands of the police are flashpoints and exemplars of such hatred—and the call of Black lives matter a resistant declaration of love, an act of sovereignty in a time of siege. In …
A Whole Sense of Self, a Whole Sense of the World
The paper focuses on defining and consciously re-membering spirituality as fundamental to the practice and praxis of multicultural research and teaching. In what I describe as the blessings of spirituality, I examine the ways that examining spirituality in international/global contexts can help us to theorize “in the flesh” (Hurtado, 2003), engaging research that seeks to address social justice in its practice and outcomes. Thus, the blessings of…
Re‐membering culture
This article examines the complexities and possibilities of identity (leaning on DuBois' notion of double consciousness) when located not in the white racial landscape of the US but in the varied racial, cultural and (inter)national contexts explicated by the scholars gathered in this issue of REE. One way to read this response might be as a critique of the limitations of DuBois' notion of double consciousness in capturing the complexities and th…
On Spiritual Strivings
When the music changes, so should the dance
This paper explores the subtle (and often not so subtle) cultural, social, political and spiritual meanings behind the very notion of paradigm ‘proliferation’ including the often exclusionary intentions and implications in how research is undertaken, represented and for what (and whose) purposes. Dealing with these contested meanings brings a particularized paradox for scholars of color as we seek to imagine, create, and embrace new and useful pa…

My soul is a witness
Utilizing a cultural ideology and an explicit discourse of spirituality, this paper seeks to answer three questions. First, what does spirituality mean for the ways in which African-American women educate and research? Second, how does the enactment and embodiment of a spiritually centered paradigm impact the learning of both teacher and student in the context of the classroom? Finally, what might such work imply in terms of theory and praxis, pa…
The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
This article explores the cultural genesis and meanings of the lives of three African-American women leaders/researchers and disrupts and unsettles the taken-for-granted notions surrounding the very goals and purposes of educational research. By examining the life notes of these women, the author develops an endarkened feminist epistemology, which embodies a distinguishably different cultural standpoint, located in the intersection/overlap of the…
