Grenfell Matters

In this episode of Grenfell Matters, Precious from the Grenfell Campus Black Student Caucus sits down with Benjamin and Kemi, two students from the Master of Applied Literary Arts (MALA) program. They share their journeys from home to Grenfell and how the MALA program has given them the opportunity to express themselves creatively. The conversation explores their cultural backgrounds, identities, and personal experiences, highlighting how these elements have shaped their creative processes and pursuits.

February is Black History Month, and this month on Grenfell Matters, we're featuring conversations with the Grenfell Campus Black Student Caucus. This week, Precious and Derek sit down with Dr. Kwabena Boateng for a compelling discussion about the importance of representation, his journey in academia, and what it takes to succeed - no matter the career path.

On this episode, hosts Angela Gomez (International Student Programming Coordinator, Grenfell Campus) and Kristen Pittman (Manager of Indigenous Affairs, Grenfell Campus) continue the conversation about anti-racism.

They are joined by speakers engaged in anti-racism in Newfoundland and Labrador, including, Maria Dussan (Program Coordinator at Community Justice Connect), Laurabel Mba (Anti-racism and Inclusion Specialist), Miguel Jones (Advocate for anti-racism in NL) and Thomas Young (Career Development Coordinator and chair of the Internationalization Working Group at Grenfell Campus).
