Description
This engaging and interactive virtual experience goes beyond mainstream Black History narratives to uncover the hidden legacies of African and Black contributions to global history—and how these stories shape identity, confidence, and the power to create change. Through humorous and heartfelt storytelling, I’ll take you on a journey from my transition from Cameroon to the U.S., sharing the cultural shocks, challenges, and hilarious moments along the way. I’ll also reveal how rediscovering my heritage transformed my worldview and gave me a roadmap for empowerment and meaningful individual and systemic transformation. Expect rich cultural storytelling, food traditions, and lively discussions that will challenge perspectives, reduce biases, and foster cultural curiosity as well as cultural pride! Why Attend? ✔ Discover a side of Black history that goes beyond traditional textbooks ✔ Explore how historical narratives shape workplace and societal dynamics ✔ Enhance your cultural awareness with insights, humor, and interactive discussion ✔ Experience a paradigm shift through cross-cultural storytelling ✔ Feel empowered to embrace identity, challenge stereotypes, and drive change ✔ Laugh out loud (but be careful not to choke!)
