Week of 4/10
Unfortunately, this week we were only able to hold class once, as Thursday was a "Wellness Day", but we've been tasked with a pretty big assignment to complete. All of our training has led up to our latest project, which will require us to interview either Morgan State student organizations, or outside organizations that have a mission revolving around the African Diaspora. I was interested in interviewing the Caribbean Students Association, but was inspired to instead choose the West-Indian National Association as my muse.
I am excited to schedule an interview with the association's President and Executive Director Mark Kendal. I'd like to know what programs and projects the association has in place to bridge the gap between African Americans, West Indians, and Africa-Born Black people. It is important to know and cherish our differences, but also highlight the things that are similar, whether it be the rhythm in our music, the movements of our bodies when we dance, or the mannerisms we use when we talk!
I'm sure this project will give me insight into all of these things, and I can't wait.
