As music fills the room, slow down and immerse yourself in the serene practice of Chinese calligraphy, guided by a master calligrapher. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, you’ll receive hands-on guidance — all materials (ink, paper, brushes) are provided. Want to practice Mandarin? Join our Mandarin Language Table during intermission for a fun, relaxed conversation with support from our language instructors.

Truth Be Told, Black History is...
Truth Be Told, Black History is...

At a time when dominant narratives attempt to flatten the Black experience into a single story, our elders step forward as storytellers and guides. Their stories become roadmaps. Their victories become lessons. And their presence offers direction for the generations rising behind them.
