On April 24, the Tate Student Center lawn came alive as a dance floor as students learned bachata, merengue and salsa on their way to class. Students from the Spanish 4080 class, Diversity through Dance, hosted the Latin dance fair to earn extra credit and spread knowledge about Latin cultures.

Under a bright, sunny sky, students covered the lawn with Latin music in the air. Some dancers were learning the basic footwork and movements while others started incorporating turns. Even the class professor, Faud Elhage, supported the students in the lessons and joined in on the dancing.

Think carefully: when was the last time you read something—poetry, a short story, a novel, an essay—written by a Black woman?

Then, ask yourself again: when was the last time you read something written by a Black woman from beyond the borders of the United States?

Escrevivências and [R]Existências, a bilingual poetry collection orchestrated under the direction of Professor Cris Lira, is a contemporary call for and answer to these questions.

Lucía Bauza, who is graduating with degrees in French and Linguistics, has been selected for a position as an English language assistant in Lille, France, through the French government's TAPIF program. She will work in France for 7 months, teaching English to French students of all ages, and then hopes to participate in similar English teaching programs around the world.
