Community Board Podcast

The Rochester Civic Theatre’s Civic Live series is pleased to present the next Women on Wednesdays panel and discussion, "Politics of Beauty, Part I: Black Hair - Still Tangled in Politics" on Wednesday, April 13 at 5:00 pm. Our discussion moderator will be writer and anthropologist Nicole Nfonoyim-Hara. Raised in New York City, she was born in the Dominican Republic with Cameroonian, Afro-Costa Rican, and Indian ancestry. Her writing, research, and activism grapples with issues of migration, diasporas, cities, identity formation and politics, culture, and both personal and collective myth-making. In 2008, she was awarded a Fulbright research grant to create a visual ethnography with African migrant men in Madrid, Spain. She received her BA from Swarthmore College and holds a Masters degree from the University of Oxford. She currently lives in Rochester, MN. Everyone is invited to attend and participate in this discussion. Women on Wednesdays is held at Rochester Civic Theatre’s lobby. Enjoy complimenta
