Nii Armah Sowah, a wildly popular CU Boulder Associate Teaching Professor and co-director of graduate studies is retiring. He prefers to say he is graduating as a way to indicate that He’ll still be around dancing, singing, teaching, and above all, creating community.
Speaking of which, be sure not to miss the portion of the show when Nii Armah shares the African proverb: If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.
In this episode of the newly-branded Talking Black, we learn about the genesis of Nii Armah’s entry into the dance world. We hear and understand his ethos that dance is a human right, a right that should be made accessible to everyone.
