About the Student
I recently graduated
from Binghamton University Cum Laude with Bachelor of Arts (Honors)
in Africana Studies in May 2001.
While at Binghamton University I have been a recipient of several local and national
scholarships. I was a recipient of the Chancellor's Award for
Student Excellence, an Honorable Mention in the USA TODAY All-Academic
College Team, Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship, Faculty-Student
Scholarship, Empire Minority Scholarship, Who's Who Among Students
in American Colleges and Universities, University Union Profession
Scholarship, Harpur College Undergraduate Research Award and Rosefsky
Language and Culture Scholarship.
I had served as
the President of Golden Key International Honour Society, Vice-President
of Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, and also a member of
the McNair Scholars Program. In April of 2000, I presented a paper at
the New York State Africana Studies Conference of university professors
at SUNY Cortland.
I have been invited
for poetry performance in the university and the community. I
was an invited poet to Performance Weekend, which featured a group
of Binghamton University student artists and performers; an invited
speaker to a class on "Introduction to World Literature,"
where I read my poems and answered student's questions on my work;
a student poet for Women of Color in Poetry - An Oral Performance
and Workshop that featured poet Asha Bandele, Peacemakers Summer
Session (youth peace group), and Olivia's Armstrong Poetry Reading
Night. My works have appeared in A Prism of Thoughts and
Africa Resource Center.

Biafran and War Song
Sung by Theresa Omekenyi Muotune, a survivor of Biafran War /
Nigerian Civil War.
These refugees
are going home after 30 months of terror. Their lives were
never quite the same after the war. Most of them have to
start all over again. |
