Hoodrat Scholarship™ is a labor of love, an eco-system of knowledge, and my way to share what I learn with those in my community. It is a combination of merch, resources, and access to information. Whatever I have learned from the schoolhouse to the streets is now available to all because we are all worthy of knowledge.
I'm Dr. KáLyn (Kay) Coghill (they/them), an interdisciplinary scholar, award-winning activist, practitioner, and educator based in Richmond, Virginia. My work focuses on addressing online gender-based violence, and I specialize in developing innovative harm reduction strategies created by Black women and non-binary femmes in digital spaces. I identify as a Black, fat, disabled, non-binary femme who comes from a busy, small city with a rich Black history.
