She earned her PhD in African American Studies from Temple University, a M.A. in Africana Studies from SUNY Albany, and a B.A. in Political Science from Howard University. Dr. Gammage research examines the calculus of media effect on the sustainability of anti-African racist ideologies through the intersection of media, culture and technology. By analyzing current popular media productions (reality TV, television dramas, social media, etc.) paired with an Afrocentric historical and cultural lens, her research demonstrates how the continued misrepresentations of Black womanhood and Black families in the media and society in general can be predictive of future public policy initiatives that endanger the freedom and liberties of African Americans.

Since then she has diligently researched media portrayals of Black women and continues to publish highly referenced peer reviewed books, articles, and book chapters.
