Abstract

How can Black feminist and Pan-Africanist ideas inform creative curriculum and pedagogy with young black women? This portfolio explores this question through the following: a self-reflexive essay on the key educational principles of Pan Africanism and Black feminist thought; a facilitator’s guide laying out a step-by-step workshop on selfesteem and creative praxis for young black women; and a photo-exhibit which documents pedagogy in process working with young women in Africa. This constitutes my portfolio which lays out a process by which young black women may begin to think critically about the world around them and the way it influences their identity formation.
