Referent*in #8 Wopana
This is what Wopana says about Wopana :
I am Wopana and I have been working in critical racism and intersectional education work as an educator and activist for many years. I also enjoy writing passionate poetry texts. Creating spaces with Black, Afrodiasporic, and African people is especially important to me.
Wopana deals with these issues a lot:
Afro Hair Politics, Deconstructing Western Ideals of Beauty and Politicizing Black Bodies, Colorism, Empowerment Work with BI*PoC, Antira Awareness Trainings, and Creative Writing/Rap Text Production.
As a speaker, Wopana is important:
That together we create Saf(er) Spaces where we are mindful of each other and our biographies, emotions and life realities.
