BLACK DIASPORA REPRESENTATION: INTERSECTIONALITY OF HISTORY, CULTURE, AND RELIGION
Régine Romain’s “Brooklyn to Benin: A Vodou Pilgrimage” highlights her journey as she crosses time and space from the TransAtlantic Slave Trade history to Vodou’s cultural survival throughout the African Diaspora. This short film and discussion invites students, educators, and community members to explore issues of representation, race, religion, power, and privilege while bringing the importance of identity, culture, and history in the telling of Black stories into sharp focus.
