In her article \u201cBlack Feminist Hip-Hop Rhetorics and the Digital Public Sphere\u201d (<em>Changing English,&nbsp;<\/em>2017), she argues that digital public discourse spaces like Twitter and blogs like The Crunk Feminist Collective allow for Black voices not only to be inserted in the mainstream media, but to transform those media to center Black women\u2019s epistemological and ontological practices. Dr. Duthely is currently working on a book length manuscript exploring Black women\u2019s embodied digital rhetorics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/documents\/toni-morrison-day-poetry-competition.pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"535\" style=\"object-position: 25.365% 28.405%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/01\/TMD-Poetry-Competition-2022.jpg\" alt=\"Third Annual Toni Morrison Day Poetry Competition - click or tap to view and download flyer for details\" class=\"wp-image-18829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/01\/TMD-Poetry-Competition-2022.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/01\/TMD-Poetry-Competition-2022-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/01\/TMD-Poetry-Competition-2022-280x375.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/01\/TMD-Poetry-Competition-2022-320x428.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/01\/TMD-Poetry-Competition-2022-360x482.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2022\/01\/TMD-Poetry-Competition-2022-112x150.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Third Annual Toni Morrison Day Poetry Competition<\/strong>&#8211;
