Africa: Rewriting the Single Story was a community engagement experience brought together by myself, Lynette Connacher, Suzanne Normile, and our extremely helpful campus coordinator, Judy Freedman. It was a night open to the entirety of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown’s student/faculty/staff community, as well as the public, held in our Cambria Room. Our main focus of the CEE was to give awareness, as well as insight, into the different cultures and ways of life in the different areas of Africa. Suzanne and I strove to allow our community to visualize that there is more to the “single story” of Africa, or more to the typical stereotypes many believe to be truth for the whole of Africa. For example, we aimed for the audience to understand that Africa, a continent not a country, is extremely fruitful in many different cultures, and although the typical stereotype (mostly a view of West-African culture) does hold true for some of the continent, just not the entirety. When the audience first arrived, they were offered refreshments of South African dessert, Malva pudding, and drinks. After being seated, the audience was then asked to write down the first three words that came to mind when thinking of Africa. Suzanne and I then began our presentations of the different cultures of Africa, and how the different misconceptions on the notecards distributed, though common, should be rethought. To top off the night, local West-African dance group, Kulani, performed and executed a workshop with dancing and drumming for the audience to take part in. Afterward, to my surprise, many members of the audience stayed to ask questions and share their insights from the experience. From this, one could tell the night was extremely beneficial, and that the audience truly took something with them from the CEE. I was thankful our goal aim was taken to heart by some, and that our CEE made a small difference in their views of Africa.
