“Coming Out in America”

Mwenso and vocalist Vuyo Sotashe will host “Coming Out in America.”

In the free one-hour informal conversation, the artists — Mwenso born in Sierra Leone and Sotashe in South Africa — will discuss how Black cultural icons have helped the two negotiate their LGBTQ+ identities while living in the United States. The conversation will include their musical influences and the history of Black queer artists.

The public event is in partnership with the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity. Contact Center for the Performing Arts Student Engagement Manager Hope Falk at [email protected] for more information.
