Hi, I'm Andrea M. Sterling. I am the
"Minister of Information" of a local community organization known as
the Providence Africana Reading Collective. Providence Africana Reading
Collective (PARC) is a learning community dedicated to advancing liberation through
education. PARC takes as its core concern the critical engagement of
emancipatory elements developed out of an Africana epistemology, and which
structure African and African Diasporic theory, politics, and history. You can
find out more about PARC by "liking" the Facebook page or
checking out the website (and it's a tumblr so you
can follow it as well!). We meet most Sundays at Tea in Sahara on the East
Side of Providence. I more than likely will post some of the events on this
blog interspersed with my talking point class posts and whatnot.
During break I continued to work (Three Sisters on Hope Street) as well as organize and meet with PARC. Spent sometime with friends who came home from their schools in other states, hung out with the beau, basically just had a laid back few weeks.
I am a Gender & Women Studies and Africana Studies double major. I am taking this class partially because it is a requirement but also because I find it to be quite interesting. I'm not well versed on class matters (ha?) and hope to learn a lot in this course.
When I'm not in class I work, spend time with PARC, the beau; and friends; read, and for the next year I will be researching and putting together a substantial piece of work for my independent study project. Not the most exciting life but it satisfies me.
