Kudos for these Black women and their awareness of self. They banded together in an environment and provided support for one another and now they have received their PHD's. I have seen other women of color like Mexicans and Filipinos do the same thing but not at this level.
Doctoral students make history: News: School of Education: Indiana University
"A group of PhD candidates in the Indiana University School of Education is making history. They're known as "the great eight." They've formed a sister circle and they say it's been the key to crossing the finish line.
After beginning the program the ladies soon realized not many women of color had come before them or at least not at the same time. So they set out to change that feeling of being the odd ball out.
"We understood very early on that we had a distinction, a commonality, a thread between all of us and so we began to meet as a group," said PhD candidate Nadrea Njoku."
