Maya Angelou was Hollywood’s first female black director! She was also an educator and worked as a professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essay and multiple poetry books.

Maya Angelou received many awards and more than 50 honorary degrees throughout her career.

Our event, Is There BIPOC Unity? was a success! We had an enlightening and empowering discussion that tackled why we still have issues within our own communities and what we can do about it. As a collective BIPOC community, we should come together and be united in the fight against racism and systemic issues faced by BIPOC individuals.

We want to extend a special thank you to our panelists Camille Esther Garon, Nipawi Kakinoosit, Katherine Li and Hira Rashid. You were all spectacular contributors. We are truly grateful that we had the opportunity to hear your experiences, thoughts and wisdom. We can all agree that there is much work ahead of us and that unlearning, learning, and relearning begins with ourselves and our communities.

Lastly, thank you to our participants for joining us this evening, and thank you to for their generous support.
