Students will learn about a variety or African mythology around the diaspora and will learn/improve collaging and art techniques.

I've created curriculum and taught young learners about African mythology and creation stories for the past 3 years. In college, I took Africana studies courses centered around African history, and out of college have taken workshops, professional development courses, and attended Afrikan centered conventions and lecture series. I am a lifelong learner of Afrikan ourstory and culture. I am Black and Mexican and therefore have lived experience being an African descendant and take pride in my ancestry. I will take care to teach about these themes from a historical perspective and will present them as stories to gain lessons from. Just like with Greek/Roman mythology and current super heroes, I will present all of the information as ideas and characters that evolve throughout time and region and will give the historical background for each while keeping the class fun and enjoyable.
