I am the Ethnic Studies Librarian and Outreach Archivist at the Newman Library, Baruch College. My work is grounded in a decolonial framework and a Black feminist ethic of care. Using an intersectional approach, I teach critical information literacy and employ a student centered approach to advance diversity in our collections and in the library’s engagement with our campus and communities.
