DNA: Discovering New Aspects
On Friday, February 22, approximately 260 Upper School
students from area independent schools attended "DNA:
Discovering New Aspects," a conference hosted by D4M
(McDonogh for Diversity). The purpose of the full-day
meeting was to expand knowledge of diversity and explore the
notion of identity and how the media impacts the
understanding of who we are. In addition, students provided
the educators that accompanied them with suggestions on how
to address issues of diversity when they are teaching or
coaching.
Nationally renowned performing artist Yavilah McCoy, a
fourth generation Jewish African American was the keynote
speaker. McCoy enthusiastically addressed the importance of
being passionate about diversity and being a good listener.
She also emphasized that individuals often have more than
one identity and should be proud of who they are.
McCoy concluded her presentation with a rousing gospel
number that energized the crowd as they sang with her:
"I want to sing, sing, sing.
I want to shout, shout, shout.
I want to sing. I want to shout. Hallelujah!
I want to sing out from my soul, 'cause diversity makes me
whole.
I want to sing. I want to shout. Hallelujah!"
