The OLLU Women’s Herstory Month celebration continues with American Association of University Women’s (AAUW) Salary Negotiation Workshop today at 5 p.m. in Providence Hall, West Social Room. The AAUW’s Start Smart and Work Smart programs are designed to empower women attending college with the skills and confidence to successfully negotiate salary and benefits packages upon graduation. Space is limited for the event. RSVP to cwcs@ollusa.edu.
Tomorrow, “Conjurewoman. Blueswoman. Beyoncé.,” will take place at 6 p.m., in Chapel Auditorium.
During this event, Dr. Kinitra Brooks, associate professor of English at the University of Texas at San Antonio, will discuss how the iconic songstress BeyoncĂ© Knowles challenged her audience to think outside the artistic lines in her 2016 audiovisual album, “Lemonade.” Employing a powerful display of black cultural ways of knowing, the album turns away from the artist’s popular music roots to gather a score of other black female creatives in a communal bond of artistic hoodoo. Invoking an undeniable black feminist language, Beyoncé’s most recent work delves into the machinations of existing at the crossroads of race and gender.
Other events scheduled for this month include:
• Women’s Herstory Month Keynote Speaker: Edyka ChilomĂ©
This Bridge Called Our Hearts: Honoring the Power of Our Inheritance
