Colorism Focus Group Info and Student Recruitment

[Ateke, Elaina]

 

 On February 27^th and 28^th, from 5:15 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., I will be conducting focus groups on colorism at Sankofa Video and Books (2714 Georgia Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20001). I need between 6-10 (female) participants each night. To be eligible for consideration, participants must be Black and between 18-36 years old. Food will be provided for participants, but they must be on time! Preliminary questions will be from 5:15 p.m. to 5:55 p.m. and the focus groups will begin (promptly) at 6:00 p.m., lasting until 8:00 p.m. Participants will not be able to be involved in the focus group without signing IRB and documentary consent forms, and taking part in the preliminary questioning. All focus groups will be audio and video recorded. 

On February 29^th (time and place yet to be determined) I will conduct a focus group with Black males on colorism. Like the other focus groups, I will need between 6-10 participants between 18-36 years old.
