Carol left the island of Antigua when she was 13 - for the bright lights of NYC. After growing up in Bronx, Carol studied at Middlebury college, and soon found her becoming a young mother. Now an Assistant Dean at the University of Cincinnati, Carol is an educator, Black feminist, student advocate, and proud mother - who\u2019s in the business of changing lives, and making sure her kids make it home to her safely. She\u2019s the author of \u201cBeing Bernadette: From Polite Silence to Finding the Black Girl Magic Within.\u201d - and an advocate for challenging the norms of polite silence, which hurts us all. You\u2019ll love hearing Carol\u2019s stories, told with a unique mix of love, humor, wisdom - and most of all endurance. Hers is not just the story of a Black woman, but a uniquely American one.\xa0\nLEARN ABOUT CAROL\n\nBOOK: \u201cBeing Bernadette...\u201d goodreads.com/book/show/36995927-being-bernadette\n\nInstagram: @careebbeanqueen, @tongemackenterprises\n\nTwitter: @deanmack91\n\nerasingtheisms.org\n\n\xa0\nMENTIONS\n\nAUTHOR: Michael Eric Dyson michaelericdyson.com\n\nTV: \u201cThe Jeffersons\u201d (1975) - imdb.com/title/tt0072519\n\nMUSIC: \u201cBrenda\u2019s Got A Baby\u201d (2Pac) - youtu.be/NRWUs0KtB-I\n\nMUSIC: \u201cKeep your head up\u201d (2Pac) - youtu.be/XW--IGAfeas\n\nMUSIC: Michael Bolton\n\nTV: \u201cThe Incredible Hulk\u201d (1977) - imdb.com/title/tt0077031\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
