The City of Bloomington commemorates National Black History Month with a tribute and celebration to empowerment. The theme for the 2023 Black History Month celebration is “Black Innovation.” The month’s events will celebrate and explore Black inventors, creators, and change agents and how Black innovators changed the way we live through their contributions, from the traffic light to the ironing board. Most people have heard about famous inventions like the light bulb, the cotton gin, and the iPhone. But there are countless other, often overlooked inventions that make our daily lives easier.

The kick-off event will feature a talk by Ellise Smith, a doctoral student at Indiana University studying Urban Education from Detroit, MI with a research focus on the experiences of bodies that identify as fat. With an interdisciplinary focus, Smith uses photography ( ), podcasting, spoken word poetry, hip-hop culture, freestyle lyricism and social media as a catalyst to center the narratives of fat bodies. As an emerging artist and scholar, Smith has dedicated her life to creating celebratory spaces for marginalized identities that she also holds using frameworks such as Black Feminist Thought and Critical Race Theory to ensure the work and narratives around bigger bodies are included in academia and challenging the dominant narrative around body image acceptance. The kick-off will also feature a pop-up shop by Itia Saahir, performance by Troy T. Thomas Jr. and Trumusiq Group.

The City of Bloomington Kick-Off is Monday, January 30, Showers City Hall Council Chambers (401 N. Morton St., Bloomington, IN)
