SUMMARY:The Link Between Happiness and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nMargaret Renkl\nModerator: Silas House\nOur ancestors didn’t think of creativity as a side gig. A quilt was meant to keep a family warm. It was meant to give a new practical use to the unworn bits of worn-out clothes. But our family quilts were never simply warm and never simply practical. They were beautiful\, and making them brought their makers happiness. Renkl\, an author and contributing opinion writer for the New York Times\, believes that expressing our own creativity—whether through painting or gardening or singing or dancing or writing or\, yes\, needlework—is one of the ways we bring meaning to our lives. \nPhoto credit: © Heidi Ross[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch this convocation on YouTube” style=”custom” custom_background=”#c75b12″ custom_text=”#ffffff” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2Fo_Tp5hSLLCw”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Reporting on Appalachian Kentucky
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nBill Estep\nModerator: Dr. Chris Green\, Director\, Appalachian Center & Assoc. Professor of Appalachian Studies\nBill Estep has reported on Appalachian Kentucky since 1985 for the Lexington Herald-Leader. While the coal industry has withered and substance abuse worsened\, the region has also improved its schools and stepped up efforts to diversify and rebuild the economy. Estep will share lessons learned from 38 years of covering Appalachian Kentucky\, as well as the joys and difficulties of reporting about this region where he grew up and lives. The region has too often been subjected to assumptions and stereotypes that distort understanding of Appalachia and its people. One job Estep and the paper undertake is to provide insight into the region and its people for a local\, state\, and national audience. That has become more challenging in an era of deep political and cultural division and erosion of traditional media. Newspapers remain a vital source of information for our society\, covering issues and stories that most other media outlets don’t. They have to find a way to continue that mission as Appalachia feels its way forward.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch this convocation on YouTube” style=”custom” custom_background=”#c75b12″ custom_text=”#ffffff” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2Fd3lSCgH0AEY”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Navigating Life and Sport as a Black Muslim Woman
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nIbtihaj Muhammad\nModerator: Dr. Shadee Malaklou\, Asst.

In it\, Ibtihaj insists—as Berea College does—that our differences are worth celebrating\, writing\, “My hijab is part of me.”[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register for this convocation on Zoom” style=”custom” custom_background=”#c75b12″ custom_text=”#ffffff” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fberea.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_NDm2L5b9Qg2kwoFX_mbZog”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nThe Women’s Suffrage Movement Through Powerful Songs and Stories\nSong leaders Dr. Kathy Bullock\, Becky Graber\, Peggo Horstmann Hodes\, and Jane Lowey invite us to join them as they recount the complex\, rich\, and diverse history of the Women’s Suffrage Movement through powerful songs and compelling stories. This program not only commemorates the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which was ratified 100 years ago\, but also shows the many challenges women faced along the way and\, more importantly\, highlights how racism and white supremacy shaped the outcome. The musical journey Women Sing 100 depicts the evolution of voting rights\, highlighting the stories and legacies of the many rarely heard voices\, especially those from the African American community. Black and White\, we come together to sing of our complicated struggle and claim our voices in this challenging time\, in the hope of lighting a fire in our hearts to get out and VOTE this November!
