Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in early childhood education. My teaching & research focus includes early childhood education for social justice, culturally sustaining pedagogies, culturally relevant policy, & Black feminist epistemologies. I have authored numerous articles & book chapters that interrogate imbalanced social power, institutional inequities, & systemic oppression affecting diverse children and families. I am especially committed to illuminating the narratives of Black women & other marginalized groups who care for children while standing at the intersection of race, gender, & various social locations.​

Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” -John Lewis
