In February 2020, the Center partnered with the The Cultural Competence Resource Committee’s African American Subcommittee to produce an evening of education, speakers and panels, discussion and sharing, and socializing around some very delicious food while listening to live music. While we can't gather in person this year, we hope you'll enjoy this look back at 2020's celebration. racial inequality and intersectionalityDr. Rhonda Dugan was the evening’s keynote speaker. Dr. Dugan is an Associate Professor of Sociology at California State University, Bakersfield. Her teaching and research focus on race, gender, culture, popular culture and research methodology. She spoke about racial socialization: parents preparing you for what is out there in the real world, navigating prejudice, stereotypes and bigotry. Her mother was a West Indian woman from the UK and her father was from the southside of Chicago. They met while he was in the air force and stationed in Wales then married and moved to Chicago together. Dr. Dugan described her childhood as having been privileged with “the best of both worlds of Blackness.” However, she also witnessed her mother being treated differently in public in the US and being considered “not Black enough” due to her UK accent by people of all backgrounds. Dr. Dugan says her personal experience became her professional interest, and she completed her dissertation in graduate school on the experiences of Black women from the UK who immigrated to the US. “These women in particular that I focused on like my mom had immigrated to the US during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. What was happening then? What a time. So not only are they having these interactions and negotiations...they’re coming to the US in the midst of the Civil Rights movement and declaring Blackness and feeling connected to Black people in the US, but at the same time still getting that 'You’re not Black enough.'...The women I interviewed talked about that a lot.” It was these racialized experiences that she studied as part of her research in college, and that she now teaches about as a professor. “Even if you’ve never heard of the concept [of intersectionality] it’s probably likely that each one of you in this room have experienced it. Intersectionality looks at these other dimensions and other positions we hold in society that work together. So instead of saying ‘I’m Black’ and ‘I’m a woman’, saying ‘I’m a Black woman.’ And what does that mean for experiencing inequality?” “The idea of intersectionality is this experience of saying my race, my class, my gender, my sexuality, all operate simultaneously - you can’t pull it apart.” - Dr. Dugan q & A: Actions for alliesDuring the Q&A portion of the evening, one audience member asked, “What can allies do to help challenge racial stereotypes?” Eboné King answered, “Even if you aren’t the person who is given that negative feedback, if you see that, then be the one to advocate for the right thing. Stand up for us. A lot of the time we express what we’re going through, and people would stand up and say ‘Is that really happening?’ Who stands for us if nobody does? Where do we get to voice what’s happening? If you want to advocate for us, then be that voice for us, stand behind us and say something. Like Gandhi said, ‘Be the change you want to see’ - stand up for what you believe.” thank youMusic was provided by Rhythms of the Sun Tribal, an amazing local troupe.

Hi everyone my name is Nicole Kidman from Las Vegas and I am here to also give gratitude to Dr Isikolo whom God used to savage my situation and restore the joy and happiness in my home. I lost my husband to a lady abroad when he went to work in the same region where she lives. I never knew all that happened till a friend of mine sent me photos of both together and it was known to me after then that it was the reason why my husband grew cold towards me and left me behind. My husband was hypnotized and mind controlled and I knew everything when I contacted Dr Isikolo when I searched for help and found none. He assured me of his return and having our love and happiness restored back which he did and the result started manifesting after 48 hours. Now I have my man back and I can't thank Dr Isikolo enough for his honesty and support. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or read more about him via his website (https://isikolotemple.com)

My husband left me and my son and never returned till DR ISIKOLO intervened. My story does not differ from others who have taken their time to share information about him to the world. I had marital issues with my husband which made him leave me and traveled to another city. At some point i was depressed and got help from nowhere till i came in contact with Dr Isikolo who helped me. He restored the love and connection between me and my partner and i got him back after 2 days as he promised. Just like everyone else talking about him, I am here to tell good of him and thank him for bringing joy to my life once again. He won't fail if you give him a try to help you as well. Just text him via WhatsApp/Telegram: +2348133261196 or read more about him and as well contact him via his website (https://isikolotemple.com) or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com
