This February Miss Porter’s is honoring Black History Month, which celebrates and recognizes the many achievements of African Americans throughout history. In honor of this month the OEI is releasing a bulletin. In this bulletin we have multiple articles about the contributions of Black Americans through time. Sophia wrote about Simone Biles and her journey through gymnastics. Ariana writes about her friend Ijeoma Azuike and her identity going to a Predominantly white institution. Benewa spoke about black hair and how hair rep-
resented a powerful image for many all through history. Georgia discusses the famous hair artist Malcolm Marquez, who uses his inspiration for hair to become an artist who does hair for many such as SZA, Rihanna and more. Finally, our guest writer this month is Kalynn Hillian and we are very grateful for her contribution for this month. Kalynn wrote about Celebrating Black Excellence Beyond Black History Month. We hope you enjoy our bulletin, happy black history month! OEI BULLETIN
