Mia is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at North Carolina State University. As a trained sociologist, Mia’s academic scholarship lies at the intersection of race, gender, and family within the context of health. Specifically, she utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to understand how the consequences of race and racism shape Black families’ well-being. Her current research agenda includes: (1) How is race-related stress transmitted within Black Families, and (2) In what ways does racism shape the well-being and lived experiences of Black mothers? Her goal is to provide both exploration and insight into the multiple pathways through which racism and race-related stress impacts the well-being and lived experiences of Black families.
