SUMMARY:What Does it Mean to be a Vermonter?
DESCRIPTION:What Does it Mean to be a Vermonter?  \nThursday\, March 6\, at 1:45 p.m.\nRoy Room\, Dion Family Student Center \nThe Presidential Committee for the Martin Luther King Jr. 2025 Convocation and the Institute for Equity and Justice invite everyone to welcome Sha’an Mouliert to Saint Michael’s campus on March 6th\, at 1:45 in the Roy Room. Ms. Mouliert was an invited speaker for Saint Michael’s 33rd MLK Jr. Convocation Day of Celebration\, but was unable to attend. We are thrilled to have her come and present her personal story and the I AM VERMONT TOO initiative.  \nFor over 35 years Sha’an has been a consultant\, community organizer\, educator\, artist and co-founded the African American Alliance of the Northeast Kingdom\, a grassroots organization committed to racial justice.  She initiated and chaired the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom’s (WILPF)\, building the Beloved Community Committee and attended the U.N World Conference Against Racism in Durban South Africa as a delegate.  For several years\, Sha’an was a core trainer for Theater of the Oppressed Laboratory at the Brecht Forum in New York City.   In 2015\, she received Lyndon State College’s Presidential Medal of Distinction of her work in the community; in 2021\, the Rutland NAACP honored her with a Lifetime Achievement Award and last year she received Burlington’s Racial Equity Inclusion and Belonging Juneteenth Innovator Award. She has led conflict resolution\, human potential\, creative expression\, racial justice & equity\, and community organizing workshops nationally and internationally. \nSha’an is the coordinator and photographer of the I Am Vermont Too photo-story exhibit\, a project of The Root Social Justice Center\, as well as\, producer and host for the I Am Vermont Too YouTube program. I Am Vermont Too is a medium for Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color to tell their stories and share how microaggressions have a significant impact in their lives. Until recently\, she was co-coordinator for Who Farms? a UVM Extension Service Center for Sustainable Agriculture oral history project which produced a comic\, 5 videos and a teacher’s resource guide.  Sha’an facilitates Racial Literacy a Healing Practice trainings throughout Vermont and is the equity and inclusion consultant for Discover St. Johnsbury where she resides. Sha’an presents and shares her story and passion throughout Vermont as an advocate of the formation of the Beloved Community. Her photographic exhibit is currently being displayed at the Montpelier State House until March 4th. \nWe hope you will consider making room in your schedule for this wonderful opportunity to hear from a Vermonter with a unique perspective we can all benefit from.
