Dr. shady Radical is a memory worker, performance archivist, professor, a mother, and the founder and lead archivist of The Radical Archive of Preservation.
The Radical Archive of Preservation or t.r.a.p. was founded in Atlanta. It was initially part of my research project on preserving Black Cultural production, the work of Tyler Perry Studios, and Black feminist performance practices. Dr. Radical currently preserves the work of Ballethnic Dance Company in East Point, Georgia; Derron Cherry, Atlanta, Georgia; and Bwagamoyo Africulture, Bagamoyo Tanzania. Dr. Radical is also employed by HeritageWerks (heritagewerks.com), a historical research/archiving company.
