3D Divas

Y’all, I’m in tears right now. Happy tears.

I just attended the successful doctoral defense of one of my Dissertation Deliverance clients. She was brilliant. Composed. Captivating. Insightful. Ready. She was ready to discuss what she has studied, ready with a thorough presentation, ready with insightful answers to rigorous questions, and ready to be a force in the world as an authority in her field. It was glorious to behold.

And humbling.

I got to be in the Zoom where she became a Ph.D.-wielding Black woman. I got to talk with her through the ups and downs of her process. I got to help her create schedules and timelines that allowed her to meet her goals and honor the human who has needs outside of academia. I got to read her dissertation before the world would know of the genius contained therein. I got to view the slides prior to today’s presentation. What a blessing to get to do this with her.

And with others.

I love my job.

Dissertation Deliverance clients are on a roll, if I say so myself. I have had the distinct privilege of supporting three new Black women doctors in the last academic year. And I am so proud. Y’all, the work they are doing is important in their respective fields of study and important in the world. They have created frameworks and communication styles and standards of practice. Their work will transform how we look at Black women’s mental health, how we approach teaching composition, and how we combat food insecurity for oncology patients. These extraordinary Black women are prepared and ready to take their places, go through doors, break glass ceilings, and transform their communities and the world.

I wasn’t going to write to share this, because I didn’t want to seem like I was bragging on myself. But these women did the work. And it was a lot of work. The world should know. And me? I had the distinct pleasure of providing a little support along their journeys.

So congratulations to the new Dissertation Deliverance Doctors! You have earned this achievement, and I can’t wait to see how you let your lights shine.

If you or any Black women you know are ABD and looking for a little support as you complete their doctoral studies, check out my website and pass it along.

The world is waiting for more Dissertation Deliverance Doctors. I can’t wait to support you along your journey.

Oh wait! I just had an idea! You know Guy Fieri’s Triple D (Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives) on Food Network? Dissertation Deliverance Doctors could be the new Triple D. (Except I’m not about to get into a trademark infringement war with Guy Fieri. Nope. Not me.) What about the 3D Divas? I like it! I think I just made a thing, and y’all got to witness it in real time. Woohoo! I think we’re going to need some merch.

So if you want to join the ranks of the 3D Divas, book some time with me, and together we’ll figure out how to support you through your dissertation and into the future that awaits you.
