Recommended Posts

Quote

Born Marijuana Pepsi Jackson—she later married and became Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck—the newly minted doctor received her Ph.D. in higher education leadership from Wisconsin's Cardinal Stritch University in May. In a profile story, released in Milwaukee's Journal Sentinel on Tuesday, Vandyck noted how proud she was to finally achieve her goal of becoming Dr. Marijuana Pepsi regardless of the hardships and setbacks her name caused throughout her lifetime.

Names typically associated with people of color have long been viewed with scrutiny in the U.S. There have even been studies conducted to showcase the ways in which employers shun resumes with black-sounding names, like the 2001 study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research that found applicants with white-sounding names were 50 percent more likely to get called back for interviews compared to applicants with names common in black communities.

 

 

So this is like the black version of A Boy Named Sue?

Yes, It is. She wrote her dissertation on "Black names in white classrooms- teacher behaviors and student perceptions" 

 

Also turns out she is married. I bet Pepsi is her maiden name.

White people are getting pretty terrible at naming their children too in the last decade.

 

I feel like a lot of white people are all about the regular names spelled in a way that means their name will be misspelled by everyone they come in contact with.

Bloodporne mad that a chick named Marijuana Pepsi gonna be making 5 times what he does.


(I assume a higher education leadership PhD actually probably means she'll be paying off her student loans until the day shes dies because that does NOT sound like a cashmoney PhD.)
