Transgressing Borders: The Speaking Power of Black Immigrant Women
Brazil, China, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom
My project seeks to explore the ways in which Black immigrant women tap into their voices in order to preserve their narratives of survival and healing. I seek to answer the questions of who Black immigrant women are, how citizenship affects their ability to not only live but to live safely, and why an investigation into the lives of undocumented Black immigrant women is important.
