About Dr. Childers

Welcome!

I’m so glad you’re here.

​

As a researcher who loves learning and a human making her way through this life, I’m excited to share what I’m discovering about health, healing, and collective wellbeing.

​

I write about race, culture, identity, equity, and relationships—with a lens shaped by lived experience, curiosity, and care.

​

My perspective has been shaped by navigating different social landscapes through education, travel, and community-based research. Moving through unfamiliar spaces has taught me the value of discomfort, the power of authentic connection, and the joy that comes from building bridges across difference. Along the way, I’ve learned how essential it is to build coalitions, care for community, and uplift voices too often left out.

​

Motherhood deepened that lens. I’m Mama to three beautiful Black boys who remind me every day to live with intention and to leave a legacy rooted in love, joy, and ancestral strength. Through writing, research, bridge-building, and parenting, I’m committed to helping shape a more equitable world—one where they, and all of us, can thrive.
