DREF is pleased to share the latest edition of PHILLIS.
PHILLIS: The Journal for Research on African American Women is the peer-reviewed journal of the Delta Research and Educational Foundation. Its editions appear biennially and comprise the highest quality scholarship related to the experiences of African American women.

Volume 7 | Issue 1 | 2024 – 2025 “FROM ACCESS TO ACTION: Amplifying Black Women’s Voices in Health Equity”
PHILLIS solicits scholarly writings by and about African American women across all disciplines that seek to advance the history, contributions and relevance of African American women. Works are intellectually challenging, promote debate, and seek to deepen the scholarly discussion on the global experience of women of the African diaspora. We look forward to publishing articles engaging gender, race, culture, class, nationality, and/or sexuality either as a central focus or as constitutive analytics. We seek exciting essays that support new inquiries or prompt constructive and corrective debate.
The Current Edition, Volume 7 | Issue 1 | 2024 – 2025 “FROM ACCESS TO ACTION: Amplifying Black Women’s Voices in Health Equity” is now available.
Dr. Tenesha J. Lewis, Guest Editor of the newly released journal shares, “This PHILLIS issue is a labor of love—honoring Black women’s brilliance, resilience, and healing. These pages spark hope, inspire action, and remind us: our voices and stories are powerful enough to transform the world.” DREF appreciates all of the contributing authors.
