We are so excited to welcome Cimone Philpotts, a doctoral candidate at the University of Delaware and community organizer, as our first guest blogger. As one of her many roles, Cimone conducts research about Black women and girls in the state of Delaware. We wanted to include her research here because, while they speak specifically to the First State, the findings are all too familiar – Black women are excluded from leadership opportunities, comprehensive health care, access to high-quality education, and earnings equal to their white and male peers. Rectifying these inequities are at the heart of AEC’s mission and we are eager to bring more research like Cimone’s to the fore in order to know better and do better for Black women.
