Invisible Black Girl: The American Outlier | LaStassia Williams | TEDxBlinnCollege

In today’s society, black girls have been positioned as outliers, and in many ways have taken on an invisible role compared to other racial groups. For black girls to be included into the makeup of society, cultural sensitivity has to be placed at the forefront to create an inclusive environment that will help bridge the gap of racial and gender disparities. Dr. LaStassia Williams is a Registered Nurse for Plano Independent School District. She is also an adjunct professor for Grand Canyon University where she teaches Concepts in Community and Public Health. She received an A.A.S in Nursing from Kilgore College, a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies from The University of Texas at Arlington, a M.A. in Human Services with a Business Management concentration from Liberty University, and a PhD in Human Services with a Public Health concentration from Capella University. The research she conducted is entitled The Influence of Religiosity on Risky Sexual Behavior in African American Women ages 18-25. She had the opportunity to do a poster presentation of her study at the 2015 National HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta, GA for the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In addition to her education, LaStassia is a Human Services Board Certified Practitioner. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
