Conversations in Leadership with Faith Adiele

How Far Would You Travel to Find Yourself?

In the documentary, My Journey Home, Faith Adiele traveled to Africa in search of her Nigerian/Nordic heritage. Her new book, Meeting Faith: The Forest Journals of a Black Buddhist Nun is a brave, witty account of the path she forged to faith, from West Coast farm girl to Harvard scholarship student, to ordination as Northern Thailand's first black Buddhist nun.

Come join this dynamic woman, Faith Adiele, in a Conversation in Leadership. The Women of Color Leadership Network has carved out this time for Faith to connect with undergraduate women of color and student leaders here at UMass. Join us for lunch.

If you would like a free lunch, e-mail Arlene at wocln@stuaf.umass.edu by February 15, 2006 to ensure a meal for you.
