Carlette Norwood is a Sociologist, originally from Washington D.C.
in the United States. She holds a PhD in Sociology from the
University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, MSA in
Organisational Development, and BA in Human Relations, both
obtained from Trinity University in Washington, D.C.

Carlette’s doctoral research is a bi-lateral, qualitative study that
asks the question: What are the similarities and differences in
which Black American women and Black British women (of African
descent and Caribbean descent) experience racism?

As a Consultant and Trainer, Carlette has delivered Racial
Literacy, Cultural Intelligence, and DEI-related training to
universities, organisations and private sector, in the form of
bespoke presentations, lectures and workshops. Her
specialisation is microinvalidations and the effects of racial
trauma/racial battle fatigue. She has also presented on the topics
of medical racism, environmental racism, white supremacy and
white privilege.

Carlette is a Certified Life Coach and a PhD Mentorship Coach.
She consults with PhD students and researchers offering
guidance, assistance and advice throughout their journey.

Carlette’s combined skills and talent, education, work experience,
certifications and life experience uniquely qualify her to engage
educationally and informatively with diverse audiences and
clients from various races and ethnicities; sexes and genders,
while maintaining compassion, respect and sensitivity.

Currently freelancing as an early-career researcher with
universities and organisations throughout the UK, Carlette enjoys
expanding her professional network and interacting with those
contributing to the extremely important work grounded in the
frameworks of anti-racism, anti-Blackness, and Decolonisation.
