This workshop is part of a Tufts University residency celebrating the Liberian Women’s Chorus for Change.

The Liberian Women’s Chorus for Change brings the power of Liberian traditional song to the forefront of efforts to make communities safe and strong. Composed of renowned singers and dancers from Liberia — Fatu Gayflor, Marie Nyenabo, Zaye Tete, and Tokay Tomah — the chorus inspires awareness and dialogue about domestic violence and other concerns of Philadelphia-area Liberian immigrants. The chorus was formed in response to these artists’ own community research which found that local Liberian immigrant women have a hard time accessing resources and getting the support they need. Together, these award-winning performers create music intended to encourage women to make their voices heard, and to take positive steps forward.
