REGISTRATION Chair
Somewhere between psychotic and iconic. My name is Chioma Nwuzi and I am a fourth year Math and Political Science double major. I am the registration coordinator for ABC this year. In my free time I enjoy running, eating salted caramel ice cream, watching basketball, and attempting to advance the conditions and environment of African students on my UC campus...in that order. I quote Drake when I'm nervous.

Mouton Hennessee
I was born and raised in the Inglewood/ South Los Angeles region of California. After reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X, my life was transformed; my consciousness was elevated. Partaking in the fortification and advancement of the African Diaspora is a great passion of mine. In addition, I enjoy playing sports, reading, exercise, and socializing. ABC of 2015 hosted by UC Irvine was a powerful event, and I am honored to be a part of the team that will be hosting ABC in 2016 at UC Santa Barbara. “Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.” ― Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man |
