African American Women, Literary Voices, and Spiritual Wholeness
Grace Chapel AME Church 502 Charles St, Beaufort, SC, United StatesThe journeys of African American women are found in literature of all kinds, fiction and nonfiction, songs and plays, written poetry and spoken word. Spirituality is an integral part in telling our stories along those journeys. As African American women find their own voices, the stories they share also serve to foster spiritual wholeness. Presented by Dr. Stephanie Y. Mitchem (USC), this talk will explore the ways African American women create communal meaning and personal identities while naming their concepts of faith and salvation.
