Doctorahood: Rising Juntas

Xicana Code Switchers

This week, we had Doctora Lorena Márquez discuss how #DinnerConDoctoras came to be and ways others have created their own spin to cultivate doctorahood. POC Business Shoutout: Doctora Designs - jewelry inspired by your resilience by Angela Chen Doctora is a state of mind and being grounded in self-care, preservation, and resistance. Doctora recognizes more than academic achievement or aspiration, it celebrates wisdom from all lived experiences. They selected the term Doctora to embrace and celebrate those traditionally and not traditionally considered holders of knowledge and truth. They like to honor women, people of color, immigrants, and those handling life on various intersectional margins. They see a Doctoras in everyone and hope their designs amplify their truth, strength, and beauty. Doctora was started in 2017 to create resources for future scholars. They make a contribution to the Doctora Textbook Scholarship from every purchase.
