consequences that have informed, developed and ascribed epistemologies and ontologies of uncertain nonhumanness upon black women as objects rather than beings. This project utilizes a mixed-methods research
design in which auto-ethnographical personal narrative is used in tandem with a developing quasi-quantitative
research method called sociological autopsy. Sociological autopsy is an emerging mixed-methods
investigational approach in which critical observation of several cases of suicidal lives are made in order to
triangulate consistent thematic content that informs the intellectual questions being investigated. I need
