https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing ... egree-withA woman named Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck earned her Ph.D. from Cardinal Stritch University in Wisconsin with the help of her dissertation, titled: "Black names in white classrooms: Teacher behaviors and student perceptions."
Vandyck, who was born Marijuana Pepsi Jackson 46 years ago, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview published Wednesday that she was inspired to choose her dissertation topic on unique black names after living through her own fair share of experiences with her name.
"People make such a big deal out of it, I couldn't get away from it," she told the paper.
Vandyck, who earned her doctoral degree in higher education leadership last month, said she asked black students with similarly unique names at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where she earned her bachelor’s degree, about how they were treated differently than other students by teachers.

It would've been better if her last name was Pepper.
