Our next featured panelist is Niaren Binford DeSilva. Thank you @customartworkbynia for joining us! Here is her bio: Niaren Binford DeSilva is an artist based in New York City. She is an elementary school art teacher, artist, wife, and mother. Niaren is best known for her paintings and drawings of female subjects. The women represent the African diaspora, from many walks of life. She decided to give these women of color a place in the art world. In her work, she seeks to highlight the beauty, style, and grace of women of color.
Niaren wants her audience to see the beauty that she recognizes in her subjects through the use of many materials: paint, dry media (colored pencil, markers, pen), fabric, beads, and other found objects.

Niaren has also illustrated a few children’s books, ‘Handicapable’, ‘Handicapable – Lola
Goes to School’, ‘Oh Boy Summer’, ‘Mr. Winter’, and ‘Mommy Do You Work
Tonight?’…to name a few.

Our next featured panelist is Baoku Duduyemi. Thank you @kibolebole for joining us. Here is his bio: Baoku Duduyemi is the Director of Research for Kibolebole Educational Institute—a full-time, independent, Afrikan-centered, home school program, that has been serving Afrikan children, from preschool to high school, nationally and internationally, for eight years. Kibolebole’s offerings also include programming for adults and institutions.
Baoku, along with his wife, Evelyn, is a co-facilitator at Homemade Joy coaching services, where Baoku guides Afrikans in becoming skilled at countering the effects of oppression on academic achievement, relationships, and personal development. Baoku is an AYA Educational Institute Warrior Healer Builder Facilitator. The WHB mindset and skillset is the foundation of Baoku’s personal and community work, and the resources he creates.

Baoku is the author of the alphabet book, A is for Afrika, S is for Sovereignty. Nana Marimba Ani calls it “… a ‘primer’ for Afrikan consciousness.” Mwalimu K. Bomani Baruti says, “… this is one of those books that will make front-line parenting so much easier.” Queen Taese refers to it as a “… complete story of how great we are.”

Born in Rochester, NY, Baoku currently lives in Atlanta, GA, where he supports the healing of Afrikan families, Afrikan people, and the world, in that order. Baoku has used A is for Afrika, S is for Sovereignty to coordinate the goals and aspirations of middle and high school students with those of our people, help parents find and share family lore, and train counselors in the Afrikan world view for after school programs. He uses the excitement generated by his books, courses, and programs to build trust in Afrika, trust in Afrikan people, and trust in our way.

Baoku has been married to Evelyn for 20 years. They have two children, Ayodele, and Aperin.
