The Experiences of Black Women Doctoral Students

This presentation delivers a voice to black women in communicating their distinctive experiences as doctoral students. The lack of research and discussion on the occurrences of black women as doctoral students created this presentation. Do the Experiences of Black
Women Doctoral Students Matter? Yes, it immensely does because black women are currently enrolling
in doctoral programs in elevated proportions. Therefore, the gap that does exist in the scholarly context
encourages the analysis of exploring this unfamiliar topic.
The presentation discusses three notions: (1) What it signifies to be a black woman and a doctoral
student, (2) Conveying the information from interviewees who are former and current doctoral students
and their experiences and (3) Applying the described experiences through the Black Feminist Thought
theory to provide a clear, concise, and extensive understanding.

How to Start a Nonprofit and

This presentation focuses on the essential tools to help individuals start their nonprofit, and how to successfully maintain their nonprofits while practicing self-care.
