Dope Black Doctors navigating the academy.
"Over the last decade, there has been a 31% increase in the number of doctorates
awarded to Black people. At the same time, only 6.5% of doctorates earned within the last decade have been earned by Blacks."
"Some would argue that an advanced degree,
let alone a doctorate was never intended for Black people. For many, the journey is often plagued with doubt, unique challenges and barriers, imposter syndrome, structural and systemic racism, and the need to continuously “prove” oneself."
