This research domain focuses on investigating the culture and society surrounding Black women's creative economic consciousness across the globe. This research domain is positioned within the fields of arts administration and organizational anthropology and utilizes a qualitative, narrative approach to explore Black women arts and cultural administrators, leaders, and entrepreneurs. This domain extends my previous creative projects on Black women's experiences in arts administration and leadership.
Funded Projects

Oakland - Virtual. 2023-2024. Social Science Research Council & Wallace Foundation.
The Arts Research with Communities of Color (ARCC) program is devoted to exploring how social science research can contribute to a thriving and more equitable arts field through empirical research, theory building, and analysis, and to supporting a new generation of early career researchers carrying out these inquiries. The program operates as part of a broader Wallace Foundation-funded initiative focusing on arts organizations of color, by facilitating the production of in-depth studies of organizations funded through the initiative. As one of the 17 studies supported by ARCC, my research study will contribute to the collaborative documentation of a collective of three arts organizations of color histories, their organizational culture, and their relationships with and approaches to the artistic or cultural community it serves.
