Program Description

Event Details

 

A thoughtful and passionate artist and speaker, Karen Anderson honors Black women by examining how beauty standards have devalued Black beauty over centuries.

Karen's desire is to share the history of women of African descent to help those impacted by racist standards feel less marginalized. Her presentation examines how women of African descent have been seen in society, art, history, and modern media, and shifts the narrative about beauty.
