About   (request update)
Current Whereabouts:
I am currently studying theater and political science at Lancaster University, in Lancaster England. Ms. Khaliah J Walker Fylde College Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YW, UK
Education   (request update)
Spelman College class of 2005
Undergrad Major: Theatre
Claim To Fame:
Lancaster University, this is where I took everything Spelman instilled in me as an African-American woman and put it to work outside of the protective hub that is Spelman. I packed everything I owned in two suit cases, and left all of my friends, and everything I knew of the world as an adult. I didn't just leave Georgia, I left the country, and moved to England for a year. While adjusting to the food, the people, the culture, and the lack of people who looked like me I became a part of Lancaster Universities "Theater Group". I played the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet, a homeless black lesbian in The Vagina Monologues for women's charity, and Antigone (to an all white supporting cast, which does not happen very often) in the Greek Tragedy Antigone. I came, I saw, and in alot of ways I conquered. Not mention, I studied very hard and recieved very high marks. There is something to said about a change in environment, sometimes it brings out the best in you.
Most Memorable Moment:
The most memorable event in college was most certainly my first day. While moving in, just seeing so many girls that looked like me, that had similar academic and life goals, I was thrilled. But it was the first day of classes that was the icing on the cake for me. After just a few introductory lessons in the first day I felt as though I had been deprived of so much about my culture and my history. The professor that stood out the most in my mind was a small man who entered the classroom a bit late, he wore African garb, and had one long dread lock hanging down his back. He pulled out a map, and starting pointing to all of the different regions we would be studying in order to understand the African Diaspora, and from that point I was hooked. I never missed one of his classes, the books we read, the discussions, just listening to him talk, I could not help but think: Why didn't I learn about this when I was younger? He opened up my thought process in a way that made me go on to question society as a whole, not just from the perspective of a black woman, but as someone looking in from the outside. I looked at the world, and took in what I was taught more critically. No longer did I just dish out what a teacher had taught me, instead I developed my own thoughts, my own opinions, and I can say even now that very few teachers in my life have had such an impact.
