[@blackbeautifulandsmart2849]

I don’t even know Dr Moore but I feel so emotional and proud of him as though he is a member of my family. Congratulations May you continue to break down barriers and be that positive role model that so many of our black boys and girls need. Well done, from the UK👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

Thank you so much! This truly means alot and I greatly appreciate you sharing that with me!

First, what a great school to start off with prayer!

[@faithanderson2264]

Dr. Jenard Moore, I hope this message finds you well. I recently had the privilege of watching your dissertation defense, and I wanted to take a moment to express the profound impact it had on me. As a single mother of two sons, I found great enlightenment and inspiration in your work. As I embark on my own dissertation journey, I turned to KZbin to find examples of dissertation defenses, and your presentation stood out to me. Two elements particularly resonated with me: your invocation of the word of God at the beginning of your defense and your focus on a topic that is incredibly relevant to young African-American males. As a mother of two sons who have pursued higher education-my eldest at Northwestern University in engineering, who chose a different path after three years, and my younger son, graduating this year with honors from an HBCU in cybersecurity-I see the significance of your work. Watching your defense was not only emotional but also motivating and methodical. It reminded me that the journey of writing and defending a dissertation is challenging yet rewarding. Your dedication to supporting future generations of Black males as they enter HBCUs and build their careers and families is commendable. Though your defense may be complete, I am confident that your work will continue to make a substantial impact. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and representing a powerful vision for the future. Congratulations once again on your achievement. I am truly proud of you, and I look forward to seeing the positive influence you will continue to have. Warm regards, Faith

[@tonicaldwell8463]

Congratulations Dr. Moore!!!! Your dissertation was so inspiring and I could tell that you are passionate about this work. I cried just listening to your defense and all of the positive feedback from your committee. I was interested in the defense process and I ended up becoming more inspired to finish!

Dr. Moore, I am a PhD Candidate at Liberty Unveristy and currently finishing up Chapters 4-5 of my Dissertation and my Defense Presentation, hoping to defend in late May or early June. Your defense has helped me 100% to know what to expect on that defense day! Congrats Dr.

@drjenardmoore Thanks, Dr. Jernard. Dr. Jernard, I have a question. I am to start LU PHD Psychology - Theology program this August. I've read many negative reviews stating that professors make you take classes over again, especially during the dissertation time, because, this is where they make the money and, too, that most professors are not available. Can you answer and guide me, in reference to your experiences, regarding this information. Also, since I am single, I must work while obtaining my doctorate (I'm currently searching to find out how to best achieve this). What is your advice?

[@seketaross5303]

[@Walelign-k7j]

Great job Dr.Moore! I appreciate your wonderful presentation!! Saying this I have questions for clarification ! How is it possible to use theoretical framework in transcendental phenomenology? You would have to reduce your preconceived notions but you invited it in the form of theoretical framework.Is that right? I am confused? Is there something wrong with my understanding of the distinction between transcendental and hermeneutics phenimenology? In addition how it is possible to use FGD to explore lived experience ? FGD is a method of opinion exploration than lived experience ,as far as my understanding is concerned .I hope you will respond clearly.

When I tell you this defense has given me sooo much peace and reassurance about presenting in September, it is an understatement! This was a blessing to watch! You did a phenomenal job Dr. Moore! Although our topics are different, there is so much that is similar. This defense smoothed out all the doubts mainly due to the peace that your spirit reflects during this presentation. This reiterated for me, that I CAN do ALL things through Christ who is my strength! All the best to you and your lovely family! Thank you for being an example and for sharing here. M.P.
