invites you to attend a presentation
"From Rebellions to Obama:
The Black Struggle"
presented by
Sarah Onyango
Kenyan-born Sarah Onyango has become a well-known fixture on Ottawa's
community television and radio scene. She is often to be spotted at
community events, camera and tape recorder in hand, looking for
uplifting stories about the National Capital region's growing African
and Caribbean community. Since 2002, Sarah has been the host of the
monthly African cultural program Fontonfrom, on Rogers TV-Ottawa
(Cable 22).
Her interest in exploring issues affecting Canada's Black community
led her to produce two one-hour nationally-broadcast television
programs for the Cable Public Affairs Channel (CPAC): "Lest We Forget,
Blacks Served Too" and "The Future of Canada's Communities of African
Descent".
Since 1998, she has produced and hosted segments for "Black on Black",
a weekly public affairs and cultural program aired on CHUO 89.1FM
(University of Ottawa). In 2002, she took on hosting and producing
duties at the same radio station for the popular weekly African radio
program "Afrika Revisited".
