What happens when a Black woman earns the doctorate but refuses to become somebody else’s idea of what an educated Black woman should look, sound, or act like?
In this episode of This Is My Syncopated Life, Dr. Patrice Charles challenges the quiet bargain underneath respectability politics: the expectation that education shouldsomehow sanitize our language, temper our personalities, regulate our humor, soften our anger, and move us closer to dominant cultural norms. But education and assimilation are not synonyms. A doctorate can expand intellectual rangewithout erasing cultural identity.
Through the lenses of Black Feminist Thought and intersectionality, Dr. Charles examines who gets to be eccentric, provocative, profane, culturally expressive, or unapologetically themselves—and still have their intelligence and credibility highly regarded.
Because when someone says, “But she has a doctorate. Why does she act like that?” perhaps we have been answering the wrong question.
The better question is:
What exactly did you expect her education to erase?
The doctorate didn’t come with an eraser.
Thank God for that.
