The Growing Knowledge Series (GKS) creates a pathway for those who have completed their dissertation, but never published, to share their scholarship with the profession through a hosted webinar. This collaborative effort of our three Communities of Practice is positioned to benefit practitioners and scholars alike, creating a space to share new knowledge frequently left on the shelf. Join Dr. Joakina Stone for this Growing Knowledge Series (GKS) webinar titled: "This will not kill us:Holistic Wellness of Black Women Doctoral Students." In this interactive session as she explores the factors influencing the holistic mental health and wellness of Black women doctoral students and recent alumnae. Using narrative inquiry grounded in Black feminist thought and Hettler’s six dimensions of wellness, nine participants shared stories and visual data that revealed themes of exhaustion, resilience, and the importance of community. Dr. Stone will highlight key findings and give tangible takeaways for supporting Black women on the doctoral journey. This webinar is presented in partnership by ACPA's Communities of Practice.
