In today's episode, I speak to Dr. Monique Liston about her experience pursuing her PhD. Dr. Liston details her traumatic experience pursuing her degree and how global white supremacy has influenced her career trajectory. We discuss everything from the importance of community and how she was mishandled by her program because of her intersecting identities.
Dr. Monique Liston, a Black woman who prioritizes Black Women's leadership, is a warrior scholar. A joyful militant, Monique fights for and moves actively towards a more liberated world. She creates space and opportunity so marginalized voices are valued and advocated for. She gives others the tools to do the same with dignity. Monique founded UBUNTU Research and Evaluation to disrupt the daily actions that uphold status quo power relations. Since oppression, anti-Blackness particularly, pervades our society and affects people from birth, Monique fulfills many roles. She is also a doula, a radical spacemaker, educator, and practicing herbal apprentice. Monique is a proud HBCU alumna, representing Howard University and in 2018 obtained her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee in Urban Education.
