And instead of our usual community dinner, we will be uplifting and highlighting the stories of Black women by hosting a film screening! Join us in witnessing the storytelling prowess of some of our favorite sisterfriends and little sisters. Though these may not necessarily be food or land stories, they are certainly stories that get told in the kitchen, covering subjects of gender, spirituality, girlhood, mothering and creating your own worlds.: Somewhere Between God & Mammy - Sabriaya ShipleyHair(Itage): Detangling Our Stories - Performing Identities 2019-2020 Cohort (The Colored Girls Museum x Philadelphia Youth Playwrights)Untitled / "The Bus Tour" - Lenora Mageei: an altar, an offering - Khaliah D.
