About
My research is focused on empowerment theory and practice, the experiences of women of color, and multicultural organizational and community change strategies. I coordinate the Detroit Initiative in Psychology: a program of scholarship, teaching and service with community based organizations in Detroit. My work includes qualitative, quantitative, and community based research.
