“For decades, ballroom, ball or house culture has been a way for queer Blacks and Latine[x]s to live their best lives – that is, to figure out how to respond to a society that devalued their lives and attempted to erase their presence. Through elaborate performances incorporating and commenting on race, class and gender, the ball community has historically reflected the American Dream and one’s exclusion from it.”

Explore the intersection of culture, identity & faith/spirituality at the deepest levels with writer & thought-leader, Tracey Michae’l Lewis-Giggetts
As a writer and thought-leader, Tracey Michae’l Lewis-Giggetts offers those who read her work and hear her speak an authentic experience; an opportunity to explore the intersection of culture, identity and faith/spirituality at the deepest levels. She is the founder of HeARTspace, a healing community created to serve those who have experienced trauma of any kind through the use of storytelling and the arts. Her workshop aims to:
1. Define Black Joy - Historical/Cultural and Present Day Context;
2. Discuss ways one can cultivate joy in personal and professional spaces and relationships;
3. Share how and why Black Joy lives alongside Black trauma, pain, and rage; and
4. Explain the role of allies and accomplices in de-centering whiteness and amplifying Black Joy.

As many of you are aware, the Bahamas was hit with a category 5 storm earlier this month that devastated the island.

We hope that you can join us Friday September 27th from 3:30 - 5:30pm at Lakeshore BASE Space (A168) as we decorate boxes for donations to ship to the impacted areas & hear from members of our student body who have been personally impacted. This will be an ongoing effort for the rest of the semester. We are working with HeadKnowles that has supported Hurricane Relief Efforts in the Bahamas since 2015.
