My interest in Africa started in 1998 when I took my first West African dance class at the Dance Complex in Central Square Cambridge, Ma.
Since then, I have helped build a few schools in Mali, West Africa through the Build A School in Africa Project. Led by the amazing Judy Lorimer, the Build a School in Africa Project runs an exciting performance of African dance and music, called “African Rhythms” each spring. Please check the website for next show dates and other fundraising activities led by Judy.
In 2002 and 2006 I participated in two Cultural Studies programs in Mali (2002) and Senegal (2006). Please watch some videos from both trips.
