Rebecca grew up in the the South amid poor White Trash and Cotton Mill cultures. She never should have been a university professor and a dean, since her schooling prepared her for life in cotton mill. Rebecca believed roadblocks to her dreams were hurdles designed to keep the poor, the oppressed, and people of color in “their place.” Rebecca received her doctoral degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She enjoyed her first career as a university professor and dean. Writing is her next career. She and her wife live in Washington, with their seven adopted senior rescue dogs. Their two sons and their wives, along with their children reside in nearby states. Po’ White Trash and Lint Heads: A Memoir is her first non-academic book.view less
