We're excited for our upcoming panelists! 🙌🏾 We're excited for our upcoming panelists! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 #ASALH2021 #ASALHFAMILY "Excited to speak at the 106th Annual ASALH Conference with Prof. Uzoma Miller and Prof. A Ade Amaker. ASALH: Association for the Study of African American Life and History, the founders of Black History Month~ This year's conference centers, The Black Family. ABSTRACT The Black family offers a rich tapestry of images for exploring the African American past and present, along with our Black music. Music of the African Diaspora unites the Black Family and affords opportunities to sing, perform, and feel our way Home. So, how can our exploration and conversations around Black music of the diaspora provide meaningful connections to how we view and nurture the Black Family? We propose that it is our music that reminds us of who we are and leads us Home, spiritually, metaphysically, and culturally. Furthermore, this supports the idea that there is no family without Home. Saturday, September 25 @ 12:30pm EST"
