- About Me
I research Black Women’s histories, specifically the experiences & journeys of freedom fighters across the transnational shared spaces of the United States and México. I study US chattel slavery, freedom & resistance in border regions, from Texas to California, and trace aboliton & anti-slavery processes in México.
My broader dissertation aims to reconceptualize the Underground Railroad in North America.
