***RAIN DATE: Sunday, September 27, 2020***
TRUE Mentors and In Full Color celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a special performance by Mexican writer and actress Liliane Wolf. Other kids always made fun of this Mexican woman for looking “Chinese,” at least until Disney’s “Pocahontas.” Now both the bullies–and the girl–go back to her indigenous roots.
This performance will be followed by an interactive discussion and poetry workshop Here I Am in which teaching artist Summer Dawn Reyes leads students in creating their very own poem celebrating their identity.
