My research goes into depth with how Beloved by Toni Morrison is an example of the ways that Black women today handle trauma, and how the collective oversexualization and dehumanization of Black women are represented in the novel and modern times. Because my research is continuing it is always changing, but the end goal is to be a voice and bring awareness to the Black woman experience in America.

My research explores the implications between Black Lives Matter as a historical movement and a contemporary organization, and corporate donations. Specifically, I will be focusing on the agendas of BLM organizers and the reasons behind corporate donations, and provide analysis as to whether these are conflicting, complementing, or a mixture of the two, using evidence to support my findings.
