There is a Kiswahili phrase that goes “intelligence/the mind is like hair, everyone has their own’. Following that logic, how Kenyan women relate to their hair is unique to the individual yet there remains collective and shared experiences. The questions that I raise throughout the paper explore: 1) how images and narratives of hair throughout Kenyan history have influenced the way women today understand how they interact with their hair, 2) the ways Kenyan women are taught about hair grooming and the journey of learning to care for their hair, and 3) Kenyan women’s understanding of their hair and how …

I play the Tenor Saxophone and my experience as a black man is personified through my art. The Art is inspired by my friends, family, life, and the experiences within them. These ideas are then connected through the use of different rhythms, harmonies, and melodies. Thus creating the music that the band and myself activity engage with, in order to use emotions to inform our ideas and decisions to create sonic imagery. As if you were walking or listening to a painting itself.

Motherhood in the words of Aunt Brenda.
See, we look at our parents first as these godlike figures like they're going to figure it out, not realizing that they were children. They were people. They had dreams and aspirations and all that. And when you strip that away, the title of mother– parent– this woman…. Who is that person?
Well, they're a person. They bleed just like you. They had dreams and thoughts and all that, just like you.
You know, I challenge everybody, you know, take your mother or father off of that godlike pedestal because you'll find that …

The responsibility of creating writing that is palatable in order to please every audience but the Black audience is often placed on the shoulders of Black authors. As phrased by Richard Wright in his “Blueprint for Negro Writing” the risk of focusing one’s writing entirely on the Black experience, left Black authors with the risk of being “consigned to oblivion.” Writing that captures the joys, the struggles, and the history of being Black in America, is often overlooked and ignored by white audiences and publishers, as it is often perceived as being unappealing and unpleasant. However, authors like Wright, James …

My experiences are me. This project is an excavation of these experiences in order to create consciousness, awareness, assign language, and pay homage to those experiences that have heavily influenced how I move through the world with dance as my medium. I am really interested in the embodiment of history rather than the traditionally written and published history. Acknowledging the history that we hold in our vessels and that history being just as important, present, and valuable as the history we may read.

Everything Varies Under Love
The amount of love that we give to the various facets of our lives help shape the reality around us.
The way we interact with family, friends, strangers, our passions and pastimes should always be influenced by leading with the heart putting our all into what we do.
Everyone is looking for that thing. Money, a fulfilling job or relationship, a new destination, or the next opportunity. All in effort to make themselves whole.
As long as we continually strive to give and receive love in our lives, maybe we can look to open doors to …

Diversifying Children’S Literature By The Retelling Of Folk Tradition And Orality In Afro-Caribbean Stories, Anthony Henry
Senior Projects Spring 2020
Examining the historical context of Children's Literature in America and the Caribbean, there are common threads that occur. Linked by a complex history of racial tensions, the representation of Afro-Caribbean children are minimal compared to white children. Disconnected from the orality of previous generations, Afro-Caribbean writers utilizes folk tradition and dialect to retell those stories of their ancestors in an amalgamation of oral-literature text.

Becoming Ourselves: Black Women’S Autobiographical Interrogation Of Tropes Of Identity, Christina L. Duncan
Senior Projects Spring 2019
A central premise of this project is that Black female identity has historically been seen as a fixed identity. Much of the imposed rigidity on Black female identity has been informed by conservative strategies for survival. Such conservative strategies include respectability politics, as racial leaders have found utility in upholding the principle that if they or others work hard, they can uphold the race. Only by maintaining these standards of respectability have Black women been deemed as worthy and able to uphold and reinforce positive images of Blackness. Many of the stories written by Black women generally fall into the …

Postcolonial Exploitation Through Economic Development Tools: A Case Study On France And The Ivory Coast, Keshav R. Prabhu-Schlosser
Senior Projects Spring 2019
Abstract: French monetary control over their colonies in Africa did not decrease after decolonization. Instead, the monetary union, the CFA Franc Zone set the stage for French domination of West Africa for decades to come through their control of pricing and exchange rates. This dominion causes repeated economic downturns, which the governments of the CFA countries are unable to counteract due to the monetary and fiscal restrictions placed upon them through the currency union. These downturns are only offset by repeated injections of capital, which can only come from abroad. In a case study of France and the Ivory Coast, …
