Harvard Africa Business Conference 2019

The Harvard Africa Business Conference took place February 16, 2019. We took about 25 students who are members of SACSA and BSA to the conference at Harvard Business School. The goal of this event was to help African and Caribbean students make valuable connections with individuals doing work on the African continent. Many of us met and networked with a diverse group of professionals in all fields. Everyone who attended the conference found this experience to be rewarding and informative.

HairXperiences

Hair is one of the most prominent aspects of identity, holding special meaning in African/Caribbean communities. Some of our most memorable experiences as children involve our hair: cutting it for school, braiding it, relaxing it, or being pinned between the knees of our mothers to tame it. We had an over-tea conversation, which was a space where we bonded and built community over the stories of our hair, and explored the many meanings it holds for us. These are some of the photos we took during and after the conversation!
