    Fieldnote 25: Black Men’s Health & Healing in the Academy | Dr. Raymond Adams on Prostate Cancer, Wellness, and Social Work
    Jun 5 2025
    In this episode of Writing What I Like: Fieldnotes of a Black Woman Scholar, Dr. Mildred Boveda (YouTube: @mboveda) and I are joined by Dr. Raymond Adams, a Black male social work professor whose research sheds critical light on prostate cancer and the health experiences of Black men. Dr. Adams brings a powerful voice to the intersection of public health, wellness, and academic life—unpacking the ways that systemic inequities shape Black men’s access to care, and how his scholarship is both a personal and political act of resistance. Together, we explore how Black men navigate wellness in the context of racialized medicine, how Dr. Adams brings his research into the classroom to shape a new generation of social workers, and why education must contend with the embodied realities of the communities it aims to serve. This conversation reminds us that health justice is, in fact, educational justice, and that the academy must be a space where both can thrive. Tune in as we talk research, resistance, and rewriting the script on Black men's wellness—one fieldnote at a time.

    Fieldnote 24: Who is Sharpening Your Iron?
    May 29 2025
    In this episode, Dr. Venus Evans-Winters and Dr. Mildred Boveda (Youtube @mboveda) sit down with Dr. Erica McCray—educator, researcher, and leader—to discuss the powerful roles of mothering and daughtering in shaping our work and wellness in academic spaces. Together, they explore how intergenerational care and personal identity influence educational leadership, equity-focused research, and the pursuit of balance in high-pressure environments. Dr. McCray reflects on her lived experiences and shares how she integrates care, legacy, and advocacy into her scholarship and professional life. This is a rich, intimate conversation for anyone invested in justice, healing, and the ways Black women lead and nurture across generations. Listen in as we honor the unseen and transformative labor of Black women in education and beyond.

    Reflection questions:
    1. How have your experiences as a mother or daughter (or son/father) shaped your values and vision in education and leadership?
    2. In what ways does your personal identity influence your approach to research, especially around equity and inclusion?
    3. What practices help you maintain wellness and balance while supporting others in academic spaces?
    4. What legacy do you hope to pass on to those who see you as a mentor or academic mother?

  • Fieldnote 23: Healing Through Storytelling: Black Feminist Research & the Power of Journaling

    Fieldnote 23: Healing Through Storytelling: Black Feminist Research & the Power of Journaling
    May 21 2025
    In this episode, we journey into the heart of Black feminist research and healing through the lens of storytelling. Together, we, Dr. Mildred Boveda and Dr. Evans-Winters, reflect on the power of narrative as a method of resistance, a source of knowledge, and a sacred tool for personal and collective transformation. Drawing from our own lives and the legacies of Black feminist scholars and creators, we explore how storytelling shows up in our work and why it matters now more than ever. We also turn inward with a conversation about journaling—how it anchors our thoughts, reveals our truths, and supports the deep inner work required to write, research, and resist. Whether you're a writer, scholar, educator, or seeker, this episode invites you to pick up the pen and begin again. Tune in for reflection, laughter, and a few words from Mildred (@mboveda on YouTube) and me as we ask: What stories are we still afraid to tell? And what becomes possible when we write anyway?

    Journaling Prompt: “Write about a time you reclaimed your voice through telling your story.”
