(About the Author)

Dr. V Boykin returned to school in 2017, obtaining her BS in marketing management, MS in management and leadership, MBA and DBA in organizational leadership. Four degrees might seem excessive, but 20 years ago, life as a Black woman with a felony proved otherwise. All income was welcome, and Dr. V did everything from stripping to picking up dog waste. She is now an established keynote speaker and leader in leadership and equity space. Her research directly linked social support to equitable workplace experiences for women, which in turn increases profitability and productivity, and decreases expensive attrition.
