11th Annual Shades of Africa: Bringing Awareness To People In Need

February 17, 2016 By Brenau Student Leave a Comment

(Gainesville, GA.) The Rho Eta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. held their annual

Shades of Africa talent show on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2016 on the campus of Brenau

University. In the past, this event has always been a crown jewel for the chapter.  The

program’s  mission is a close matter to the ladies of Rho Eta and the organization.

Bringing awareness to the health and hunger concerns of people in need through engaging the

campus in a celebration of iconic African culture are the primary focuses for this event. Usually

taking place during Black History Month, this event has been known to feature students and

faculty members of all ethnic backgrounds and talents; and it is this diversity that makes the

show a hit on campus every year.

With this year being no different, the featured line up for acts encompassed eight talented

performances ranging from interpretive dance, to original song compositions and spoken word.

Former Brenau University student and Rho Eta Chapter member, Brittany Menefield, served as

the event host for the evening.

The ladies also used the proceeds collected, any donated canned goods or toiletries, as

donations to the local Georgia Mountain Food Bank. This further encouraged their organizations’

Health Promotion national target.
