Wanted: 10 People to Rep Me at Genius For Men in D.C. This Weekend by Alfred Edmond
How would you like be in the house at a men’s empowerment event to honor actor, entrepreneur and Black Gents of Hollywood Co-Founder Lamman Rucker, multimedia activist and journalist Jeff Johnson, and other high-achieving Black men, that features outstanding music, dance and spoken-word live performance tributes for each honoree? If this sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon and you will be in D.C. this weekend, I need you to do me a favor: Represent me at theInsight Initiatives’s Genius For Men Conference at THE ARC at 1901 Mississippi Ave, Washington, D.C. at 2:00 p.m. this Saturday, October 13, 2o12.
Genius For Men, executive produced and by sisters Alisha Lola (Insight Initiative‘s founder) and Angela Jones, is billed as an event that “encourages community between men and women, celebrates male achievement, and honors men who seek to transcend the limits within their professions.” I can personally bear witness that the event absolutely meets and exceeds its objective.

Please join me in congratulating Alisha Jones, who has been awarded a Tave Teaching Fellowship for 2013-14 for her course "Music and Mysticism." Alisha's is but one of five Tave courses that will be offered next year. This is, of course, a wonderful opportunity for Alisha to teach a course based on her dissertation research, and a considerable honor for the Department.
