On today's episode, Laura sits down with Staci Mitchell, a lecturer for the Pan-African Studies Department at Cal State LA who also teaches for the Cal State LA Theatre Department. Staci wears many hats in addition to professor - including (but not limited to) yoga practitioner, performer, researcher, and playwright. Just a few weeks after this podcast episode was recorded, Staci left for South Africa, where she spent a month there as a Fulbright Scholar for "Performance Art in South Africa During Apartheid and Beyond." Everything Staci does is infused with deep love and respect for her own cultural heritage, as well as the cultures and practices of the artists, scholars, and practitioners whom she studies and incorporates into her own works.
