Dr. Taryrn Brown on Navigating a PhD Program Shutdown and Black Girl Cartography

The Cohort Sistas Podcast

In this conversation, we talk alongside Dr. Brown, tracing her roots back to her family's deep commitment to education and exploring the profound influence of 90s black love movies on her life. We'll delve into how she gave birth to the transformative Black girlhood collaborative, driven by her passion and vision.

Our discussion doesn't shy away from tackling the profound and systemic issues that shape the educational landscape. We challenge the narrative that individuals can single-handedly overcome their circumstances, emphasizing the importance of external support. Dr. Brown's unconventional educational journey and her significant role in the College of Education offer a beacon of hope for those with a thirst for higher learning but without the traditional classroom background.
As our conversation unfolds, we uncover the fascinating concept of Black Girl Cartography, inspired by the groundbreaking work of Tamara Butler and Catherine McKintrick. This concept beautifully encapsulates the experiences of Black girls in various settings, from schools and afterschool programs to within the dynamics of their families.
