Bio
Dr. OG (she/they) is a sociologist, Black/Caribbean feminist, and curator. She received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Her work is inspired by her own transnational girlhood between the States, La Republica Dominicana, and the island of Sint Maarten. She co-creates knowledge with Afro-Caribbean girls in the Dutch West Indies to explore how the girls narrate, navigate, and negotiate their girlhood experiences. She also explores the transitional period between girlhood and woman/adulthood. Her work aims to give volume and visibility to the stories of Black women and girls and LGBTQ+ folx in the west and from the global south.
