Through the use of critical race theory, digital rhetoric, and cultural rhetoric, this project looks at tweets from the author’s personal Twitter account, noting the ways her hybridity has come to the forefront of her identity on that space. This project also weaves the author’s personal narrative throughout in an effort to claim her story and highlight how nuanced identity truly is. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. / Spring Semester 2019. / April 15, 2019. / Black Twitter, identity, intersectionality, language, race / Includes bibliographical references. / Rhea Lathan, Professor Directing Thesis; Kristie S.
