Do you consider your work to be "creative" or "traditional" scholarship? This week's guest, Dr. Kimberly Garza, says you can do both, successfully. A creative writer and professor of literature, Dr. Garza has recently published a book that includes three different languages- one for each of the ethnic backgrounds that she proudly claims. She makes it a priority to share authors of Latin descent with her students at the University of Texas- San Antonio, which has a large Hispanic population. In this episode of "This Prof Life: Women of Color in Higher Education" join Dr. Pat Sanders and Dr. Garza as they discuss the importance and necessity of creative research.
When we pursue our dreams, it may lead us down more than one path and even to a different outcome.

In this episode she has an impactful discussion with Dr. Pat Sanders after following her heart, but while keeping it real at the same time. Whitley is honored by the privilege to learn, lead, and serve through the Fine Arts.
We pick up where we left off in Part 2 of a conversation with Dr. Aerial Ellis, who shares how important it is for people of color to feel as if they belong at an institution.

That word, "belonging" has become a significant part of the diversity, equity and inclusion conversation and agenda. Take a listen!

Who are you in the academy, and do you feel fulfilled there? Answering that question is a one that you should really seek to answer, according to Dr. Adia Gooden who says we all should be able to do that and walk in our true, authentic selves and purpose. Dr. Gooden actually did so by leaving her academic role to pursue her calling as a licensed clinical psychologist in her own business. She has no regrets. Her story could help your story.

Is it a racist act or racialized? You decide after listening to Dr. Venise Berry, University of Iowa, our guest on this podcast episode. Twenty years of research has been centered around race, racism and racialism. Key takeaways: Not everyone or everything is an intended act of racism. Some things, particularly by the way they are presented through the media, are racialized. Everyone should take a step back, all races and ethnicities, and reflect on how they react to things that may not be racism. What it's like to work at a HBCU vs. a PWI.
