Happening at The Native Immigrant - Skin:
In Skin, we want to explore how the objectification of color and reason works, and how we can train our brains to reject biased conjectures.

Art educators and models from diverse backgrounds will join us for a conversation on diversity, art, and representation.

He is the coolest!
If you like food, music, and creativity, read this book. In conversations with ten innovative chefs in America, Questlove explores what makes their creativity tick, how they see the world through their cooking and how their cooking teaches them to see the world.
