World-renowned poet and social justice activist, Elizabeth Acevedo, takes the stage of IC Square for a night of spoken word that highlights the Latinx connection to the African Diaspora. With over twelve years of performance experience, Acevedo has been a featured performer on BET and Mun2, as well as delivered several TED Talks. She has graced stages nationally and internationally including renowned venues such as The Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden, the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts, and South Africa’s State Theatre.
Through our programs and events, we hope to expand the cultural competence of the Ithaca College Community through awareness and appreciation of Latin American culture and its influence and contributions to American culture. Our events are open to the entire Ithaca College family as we aim to honor, show pride and respect for Latinx Heritage. This event is sponsored by PODER, a student organization dedicated to uniting students of Hispanic/Latino descent at Ithaca College, fostering and promoting diversity and awareness of Hispanic/Latino culture on campus, creating an environment in which students will be afforded the opportunity to learn about themselves as individuals, while also learning about their cultural history, developing Latino/Hispanic student leaders, and motivating Latino/Hispanic students to excel academically, socially adapt to the Ithaca College community, and ultimately find a place to call casa (home).
