Work It!

The Hayti Heritage Center hosted the third annual wimmin@work event, showcasing creative work by women of color in Durham. Duke University Associate Professor of the Practice of Dance Andrea E. Woods Valdés created the function in 2016 as a way to celebrate her women teachers, students, mentors, friends and family members. Performances included spoken word poetry, singing, various types of dance – traditional Kenyan, modern and interpretive – and harp performances. The event also allowed local female vendors to come and sell their crafts, like jewelry, wine and clothing. 14
