SUMMARY:UnSpoken Truth\, umuted and unfiltered - a poetry reading with Angela Bowden
DESCRIPTION:Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/461769618391055/ \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to join us this evening (online via ZOOM or by phone) for a sharing of poetry\, with Nova Scotian author\, Angela Bowden\, and her newly published\, “UnSpoken Truth\, unmuted and unfiltered”. \n\n\n\nPlease click the link below to join the ZOOM webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81003629398…Passcode: 326994or by phone – please dial\, 1(800) 974-5902\, and then enter the Conference ID\,6217271. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book:With strength and resilience\, Africans have persevered through the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and were able to rebuild a life after slavery while enduring the inhumane conditions of the civil rights Jim Crow era forced upon them by the African diaspora. The lack of acknowledgement of the generational trauma these events have had on their descendants continues to create further injury. Even today\, barriers prevent their healing and transition from survival to a thriving existence. \n\n\n\nUnspoken Truth is a bold collection of poetry highlighting the generational pain of Africans living in the diaspora. Through her poems\, Bowden creates a panoramic view of the terrible conditions they endured for centuries. Deliberately\, with dignity\, she brings the trauma stories of African Nova Scotians told around kitchen tables for decades to the homes of readers while restoring the balance of humanity and royalty from which the African journey began. Despite all odds\, they were able to preserve their lineage and lean on the resilience buried deep in their souls while passing this pride\, culture\, and strength on to future generations so they may one day fulfill the hopes and the dreams of the former slaves. \n\n\n\nThis collection seeks to spark the necessary conversations the larger society needs to engage in around the perseverance of systemic racism\, a society now grappling to make the connections between historical trauma and current-day conditions of inequality. It summons the conscience of every reader to acknowledge the truth and reconcile it with their own dissonance. The poems pay homage to the ancestors\, honour the elders\, and provide inspiration for the youth so they can heal from this historical inheritance and build upon their own narratives. \n\n\n\nAbout the author: \n\n\n\nTEDx speaker\, writer\, and activist\, Angela Bowden is a descendent of the stolen Africans sold through the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Angela’s roots were preserved through the Black Loyalists arriving in Birchtown\, migrating to Guysborough County\, and later moving to New Glasgow\, Nova Scotia\, where she was born and raised.

After nuclear industry lobbying\, the Canadian government exempted these projects from a federal environmental impact assessment. \n\n\n\nPoint Lepreau is located on the shared traditional and unceded territories of the Peskotomuhkati and Wolastoq Nations.The panel features Indigenous leaders and academic and medical experts as presenters followed by Q&A with registrants. \n\n\n\nPanel Two:Dr. Janice Harvey\, St. Thomas UniversityIntroduction • moderator \n\n\n\nDr. M.V.
