Biography

Gumbs holds a PhD in English, African and African-American Studies, and Women and Gender Studies from Duke University.[3]

Gumbs was the Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts in the Department of Theater Arts and Dance at the University of Minnesota (2017–2019).[3] Gumbs is the Founder and Director of Eternal Summer of the Black Feminist Mind and founder of BrokenBeautiful Press.[4][5] She is the dramaturge for "dat Black Mermaid Man Lady", a performance by Sharon Bridgforth.[6]

Gumbs has spent the majority of her career as an independent writer and scholar outside of formal academic institutions.[7][8] Gumbs teaches online seminars, writes blog posts, and runs webinars through her website Brilliance Remastered.[7] Because she does not work at a university, she has participated in conversations about how intellectual work can be more path breaking and more widely accessible outside of the academy.[8]
