Upper School Black Student Union Hosts Alyea Pierce
Upper School Black Student Union co-clerks Artese Brown and Eva Vanterpool and Middle School students welcomed award-winning author, educator, international speaker and poet Alyea Pierce for two separate assemblies with each division today.
As a first-generation Caribbean-American Black woman, Alyea’s work focuses on identity, resilience, creativity through inclusivity, and exploration of the world and self.
Currently teaching in the Rutgers University English Department, she shared her journey as a storyteller, poet, and researcher and shed light on the importance of language, oral traditions, and the way stories shape our world.
