THE ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE: A CULTURAL INTERPRETATION
AND FIRST GENERATION EXPLORATION THROUGH THE LENS OF HIP HOP
The CCECC at Averett University and Averett’s Student Life and Student Success Teams launch their Virginia Humanities Convocation Series for spring 2020. The three-part series will focus on the power of the arts in creating a culture of resistance and a safe space to explore diversity and inclusion.
As the inaugural guest lecturer/performer, Kyesha Jennings, faculty member at NC State University, will speak on the aesthetics and sensibilities of hip-hop culture and its intersection with identity formation. As a self-identified first-generation college student, Jennings will also discuss how music and the arts help first-gen students navigate college life.
