An exquisite week with visiting playwright from France, Eva Doumbia. Thank you to my Emory colleague Johanna Montlouis-Gabriel, Viilla Albertine, Dionne Davis, Spelman College.
I am so excited about this event I’ve been dreaming up for months and it’s finally here! Please join us if you can on Wednesday to (re)discover @evadoumbia3 ‘s works that speak powerfully to Black diasporic experiences and memory amongst other things. Her works will come alive thanks to our Emory University students and Spelman College students as well as ATL-based and Suzi Bass Nomminated actress Dionna D. Davis. 😍🤗🥰 So thankful for our sponsors and co-creators for making this a reality! Venez nombreux.se.x!!!
📖🚨New Published chapter alert 🚨📖 I am thrilled and honored to have a chapter in the French 🇫🇷translation of this important edited volume directed by Silyane Larcher and Félix Germain alongside academics whose work I revere. This is particularly near and dear to my heart because my mom (last pic) is finally able to read something I publish in French about a performance she and I have experienced and have been speaking about ever since seeing it in 2021! 🫶🏾🥰 This performance truly changed me and I still think about it all the time. Thanks to #rebeccachaillon I walked out of this performance completely changed. Thank you to Silyane for her labor of love and mentoring in the publishing process @pipirichantant and thank you in advance to future readers of this important volume! Find out in this article why I picked Fanny J’s classic « Ancrée à ton port » 💖🎶
