Despite the intensity and stress, my favourite project was my dissertation. My research question was: ‘Exploring the relationship between the ‘Strong Black Woman’ Stereotype and Intersectional Violence in Contemporary Society’ where I could incorporate my degree into areas of interest I have with primary research. I utilised my degree by investigating intersectional violence (violence by Black men and by the police) to explore how violence affects Black women differently to other demographics, especially regarding the stereotype of the Strong Black Woman.
