On Sept. 21, four students were recognized as CC4C Creative Changemakers at a gala at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery at Dawson.

The four CC4C Creative Changemakers are: Kessy Ininahazwe 聽(General Social Science), Elishah Alphonse (General Social Science), Kylie Brown (Cinema | Communications) and Sarah Browne (Graphic Design).

Changemakers Kessy Ininahazwe and Elishah Alphonse made a song entitled 鈥淐an't bare no more鈥� about a poem that was written in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. They produced the 鈥渟ong so it can serve as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice and the need to celebrate and support black culture,鈥� Kessy said.

The students learned how to produce a song, which was a really long process. 鈥淲e can also say that we learned how to use our voice and creativity in the struggle for a better world,鈥� Kessy said.

The award 鈥渇eels really great because we worked so hard for this project and the fact that other people really enjoyed the song feels amazing to me,鈥� she said.

鈥淚t is such a pleasure to reward students who have such a dedication for positive change in this world,鈥� said Kim Simard (Faculty, Cinema | Communications) of the Creative Collective for Change (CC4C).

鈥淲e are lucky to have incredible students in our midst: curious, critical and creative. May we consistently value their important contributions,鈥� she said.

Kim said that it was a beautiful evening, and that they hope to see more like it in the future. Thanks again to Living Campus and the Warren G. Flowers Gallery for their unwavering support.
