A Woman Named Marijuana Pepsi, Who Refused To Change Her Name, Earned Her Ph.D With A Dissertation On Uncommon Names

Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck is a 46-year-old woman who just received her doctorate in higher education leadership from Wisconsin’s Cardinal Stritch University. 

Her dissertation was titled "Black names in white classrooms: Teacher behaviors and student perceptions."

As part of her project, she interviewed black students “about the effect of their distinctly black names on their treatment by teachers and on their academic achievement.”

She told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel her mom gave her this name because "it would take her around the world."
