• This paper explores the role of Critical Education, Digital Humanities, and Black Feminist
  Theory in highlighting, uplifting, and re-shaping the black female image. This research will
  highlight works related to decolonization theory and respond to three main questions: 1. How has
  the black female ‘image’ been represented in societal institutions like universities and the media,
  and how has this impacted and generalized the public and personal understandings of black
  women in North American society? 2. What discourse is being promoted and facilitated on social
  media platforms concerning black women, their activism, their feminism, and their role in
  academia?

  1. Can theoretical frameworks such as the Black Feminist Theory and Critical Pedagogy aid in black women’s personal, political, and socio-economic liberation by helping them understand and connect theory and practice dialectically?
