In this episode of our podcast, Dr. Tameka McGlawn, Ed.D., shares her research findings and recommendations after reviewing our first three years and inaugural story collection. Dr. McGlawn discusses the data with BlackFemaleProject Founder Precious J. Stroud; together they explore what it means and discuss the future of BlackFemaleProject.
Dr. McGlawn is not new to BlackFemaleProject. She not only reviewed the edited and unedited versions of every story, but also listened to interview recordings and podcast episodes; read results and comments from three years of event surveys; and conducted personal interviews to inform her forthcoming findings and recommendations, which will be released in March 2020.
"...Many of the stories...in the inaugural collection were saying, ’There's pain.’ And so being able to acknowledge that and not minimize that for the sake of technical analysis was critical for me." - Tameka L. McGlawn, Ed.D.
Dr. McGlawn also played a key role in our last formal retrospective, facilitating a panel discussion with our inaugural members at our one-year celebration. Find images and video footage from the momentous occasion here.
