My Blackness Is Too…A Conversation with Black Women-About Women-For Women at Brévo Theatre

In partnership with 10 Days of Connection Broward, this discussion will focus on the different perspectives of black women in the community including the Arts, Corporate America, and Entrepreneurship. Listen as we hear from panelist Lakeisha Frith (The Adrienne Arsht Center), Delilah Antionette (Black Girls Healing House), Tanisha Cidel (Evolutionary Arts), Veronique George (VLG Productions), and Ghenete G Wright Muir (Thou Art Woman), share their achievements, overcoming obstacles they've faced in their career, as well as, what practices they've put in place to become the best version of themselves. The purpose of this panel is to emphasize the voice of the black women where we will unpack topics such as self-identity and emotional healing for the black women. Using inspiration from Mikki Kendall and Bell Hooks, current research is very White female dominated speaking about Black female experiences. We are addressing the lack of Black female voices by having Black women share their experiences while providing a support system to uplift other Black female voices. The discussion will also be accompanied with a performance entitled Four Colored Girls a collaboration of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" and Nina Simone's "Four Women."
