About the book

This nonfiction book in-progress focuses a critical lens on technology and online culture via Black Gen Z women’s digital practices. Because BIPOC folks are systemically left out of multitudes of research studies, academic, medical, and otherwise—my work examines how Black women use technologies (hardware and software) to navigate and shape digital cultures and environments and signify identity online, given the intersectional and recursive influences of race, class, gender, and generation and Black Gen Z’s near-constant use of the internet.

Throughout 2025, I am conducting outreach and recruiting Black, female-identified, Gen Z women to participate in my research for this project, which includes an online questionnaire and one-on-one interviews about Black Gen Z girls’ personal technology histories and online habits.
