Her research centers the lived experiences of Black African immigrant students navigating predominantly white academic spaces, with a focus on how they forge identity, community, and meaning across borders.

When she's not writing about spatial politics and epistemic justice, Martha is building vibrant support networks through initiatives like the Black Women Collaborative (BWC) and the Black Male Initiative (BMI). She believes in education as a site of both memory and imagination, and that laughter, mentorship, and resistance are sacred practices.
