The nonprofit organization To Write Love on Her Arms will hold a discussion Tuesday, March 15, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Gallagher Center. Audience members will participate in self-love and self-empowerment exercises, including writing “Dear Body” letters, and learn about mental health.
Storyteller Laura Packer presents “Conversations with Sojourner Truth” on Wednesday, March 16, inside the Castellani Art Museum. The keynote address begins at 6 p.m. and is co-sponsored by the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area, the Castellani Art Museum, and NU’s communication studies and history departments.
