Interview with Mrs. Dulce Parker Caribbean Cooking Class By Sasha Bowman What
do you like about cooking? Seeing
the children and learning about culture and other foods. What
is your ethnicity? I was born in the Dominican Republic. I’m also considered an African-Hispanic-Caribbean. Why
did you choose to teach about Caribbean foods at the South Dallas Cultural
Center? It
is very important for the children to learn how to eat healthy and to learn the
culture of the Caribbean. Most
of the food they eat in Haiti came from Africa, originally… Like plantains yams
and black eyed peas. Food represents the cultural identity of the people.

Emmanuel Gillespie presents his latest body of work in an exhibition entitled "RACE". In explaining this new work, Gillespie states," One of the things I believe we are responsible for is recording or restating history and telling the stories that go along with it. In my work I pull from history by using the process of researching each theme and recording the information visually in my work. One of my goals is to continuously create art that shows a larger worldview towards people. My current series is focused on "race" and the worldview towards it. The images as well as the abstractions pull from various ranges of questions and content surrounding the relationships to people, groups and society." Join us for the opening of "RACE" on Saturday, July 17. |

Learning How to Be a Teen Graphic Designer this Summer By Kourtneysha Templeton Teen Graphic Arts Designer I chose to be the
graphic designer because I have experience designing photos,
and displaying them to people online. I love showing people how to design pictures and making them look better through Photoshop. People ask me all the time if I can help
them design and edit their photos. I have fun helping people from everywhere with that particular
aspect of designing. I was able to design my own photo blog in my creative writing/photography class this summer. I remember when I was younger I always came up with poems and lyrics to songs too. ~ Stay in the loop with Nuru Magazine. Email us your comments about our summer camp creative writing-photography project. Email: Social Media:

Perspective "Journaling
on the Gateway to Haiti with Summer SDCC Classes: Week #1" By Jendayi-Hill Jones The student participants of COMING OF AGE started the week with the basic social studies component of Haiti. They learned the original name of Haiti (Ayiti), it's location, size, religion, language and relavance. We discussed the revolution and its importance. The students participated in a WORD RELAY activity that created a collage with their ideas of Haiti. We
also addressed the importance of standing up for
what they believe in as our kindred brothers and sisters did in
Haiti. After
previewing a poem titled, "YOU CALL IT BLACK SPARTA, I CALL
IT AYITI", They wrote poetry to reflect a right they would STAND for! So there
were poems about Family, Freedom, A change in cafeteria food,
school uniforms, etc. We also looked at foods from Haiti and compared it to our foods of yester years (during enslavement) and our present day diets today!
