Julia Jordan-Zachery, PhD
Faculty Coach
A Black Caribbean mother, scholar, and truth-teller, I have spent 30 years building a life rooted in honesty, justice, and freedom. As a professor and chair of the Women’s Studies Department at Wake Forest University, I have dedicated my career to centering Black women’s voices—through academic books, poetry, and documentary. I founded the Black Women and Girls Symposium and curated the digital multi-media project Black Women Talk COVID.
At my core, I am a social scientist with a hint of Zora Neale Hurston—drawn to the intersections of power and identity. My work is undisciplined by design. I let the ancestors guide the questions and shape the answers. My training is in Political Science, and my research looks at social scripts, Black womanhood, and liberation.
As a coach, I know that you are already whole. Your body holds the map back to your center. My work is to help you read it.
