50 Shades of Black: An Interview with Danielle Ford
CHRISTINA WITKOWICKI
For this issue’s feature from the AFA Research Committee, one of their members, Christina Witkowicki, is digging deeper into the research process for a scholar/practitioner in our field. She had the opportunity to talk to Danielle Ford. The following are excerpts (edited for length) from her interview with Danielle regarding her research and her advice for others: I first met Danielle Ford when we both presented our research at the AFA Annual Meeting in 2019. Her study, 50 Shades of Black: The Black Racial Identity and Development of Black Members of White Greek Letter Organizations in the South, was by far the most discussed study during the research presentation. She is a first-generation college student who studied at Louisiana State University for both her Bachelor of Science in management, with a minor in French, and Master of Art in higher education administration.
