    I am a vessel.
    From my body, I have delivered life and I breathe life.

    As your mentor, my goals are to:
    1. Share the wisdom of my Ancestors and my own life experiences to pour into your life academically, professionally, and personally.
    2. To center your emotional well-being by creating and holding spaces for healing and self-restoration.
    3. To center your intellectual well-being by understanding your goals and talents in order to build upon them.
    4. To center your physical well-being by building in active time to pause the demands of your day to simply be present with self.

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    Black Joy in Green Spaces will focus on three projects:

    1) to conduct literature reviews on nature's influence on emotional, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual well-being
    2) participation in a walking art pilot study, Soles of Black Folks, that explores the relationship between emotional well-being and observing the sunset
    3) data collection and analysis of the pilot study

    It is my vision to create a “mock doc” experience for the two research mentees selected for this project. Mock doc is short for mock doctoral experience. Collectively, the team will develop* a pilot study that utilizes the methodologies of Endarkened, Visual Narrative Inquiry and photo-elicitation interviewing to explore the connections between container gardening, health, and the experiences of Black people. As a final output, the research mentees will write a publishable report that closely mirrors the five chapters associated with dissertations. Ideally, the mentees will also have an opportunity to share their preliminary findings during the 2024 International Association of Autoethnography and Narrative Inquiry. 

    The Blacktivate Joy Symposium tasks will be ongoing. The tentative symposium date is set for April in honor of Minority Health Awareness Month.

    The 2023/2024 term will represent the developmental stages of the study. It is my aim that the two research mentees selected for this project will return during the 2024/2025 term to implement their research. 
  please_add_any_additional_information_here: |
    Research mentees will be expected to attend and complete IRB (Institutional Review Board) training. This will expedite the process when it comes to research and publications in the near future.

  skills_that_research_assistants_may_need_: |-
    The research assistants selected for Black Joy in Green Spaces must be flexible, open, optimistic, and dedicated.

    Flexible: Some weeks you will be responsible to co-lead the meetings because I will be presenting at conferences around the globe. 
    Open: Be receptive to various styles of communication and learning.
    Optimistic: Believe that the topic of Black Joy can provide a much needed counter-narrative to the typical lens that is generally applied to research regarding Black people.
    Dedicated: Meeting deadlines will be essential. Each week, you will be required to meet your deliverables even if that assignment is to "go outside and simply let BEing be enough!"
