About this Event
Africana Tea: A Global History of Tea and Black Women's Health is an illustrated tea table book that catalogs multiple narratives about Black women’s diverse experiences with tea as a tool for health, healing, and wellness. Based on research by Dr. Stephanie Y. Evans and her work on historical wellness, Africana Tea unveils the roots of Black women’s international tea culture. From hibiscus in Egypt and Jamaica to black tea in Kenya, sassafras or orange pekoe iced tea in the US South, and aromatic herbal teas of California, Black women’s wellness is steeped in tea history. This tea table book traces the historical, geographic, health, and educational traditions of collective care and offers a tea-tasting journal for self-care.
Books will be available for purchase and signing from Black Dot Cultural Center.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is requested.
