My dissertation, “Wa Ya See?”: An Autoethnographic Exploration of the Nuanced Experiences of a Black, Quare, Afro-Caribbean, Asylum Seeker in U.S. Higher Education, reflects my dedication to understanding and addressing intersectional identities. This research involved five theoretical frameworks to develop a comprehensive model that tackles systemic challenges faced by Afro-Caribbean students.
