How can I obtain a copy of your article, “Representin’ in cyberspace: Sexual scripts, self-definition, and hip hop culture in black American adolescent girls’ home pages”?

Can you give me advice about my career…..read my admissions essay……mentor me….help me with my thesis…meet with me…..?

I have been in your shoes and sincerely wish there were enough time to individually call, meet with, and help each student who contacts me seeking mentoring, career advice, and feedback on admissions essays, papers, and thesis projects. Due to a very busy schedule, individual assistance can only be offered through the coaching services that I provide.

If you are interested in volunteer or unpaid internship opportunities with Dr. Carla LLC, please contact us and provide detailed information about your experience, interests, and any requirements (a resume, application, and interview will also be required).

I am interested in public health, women’s health, youth development, and/or girls’ empowerment. Can you give me career advice and/or information about internships and career paths?

I am encouraged by the inquiries I receive from young women of color who are interested in pursuing a career in public health. When I first became interested in public health in the 90’s, there were few opportunities available for undergraduates, especially at HBCUs. Fortunately, this has changed. I highly recommend visiting The Black Young Professionals’ Public Health Network, Inc. The group was started in 2001 by a few of my former classmates at the University of Michigan School of Public Health “in recognition of an increased need for more deliberate and concerted opportunities for professional development of African Americans in the American Public Health Association and in the public health field.” By signing up for the e-mail list, you will have access to public health-related news, employment/internship postings, and hundreds of public health professionals from a variety of disciplines (I will post additional resources soon).

I am working on a list of additional FAQs that I will post to this web site. Please check back soon.

Thank you for your interest and patience. I look forward to hearing from you.

With encouragement and gratitude,
