The Center for Resilient Communities will host Dina Hornbaker, a singer/songwriter, and community leader based in Charleston, Feb. 13 from noon to 1 p.m. in Brooks Hall 309.
Hornbaker, an alumna of the geology and geography Department, returns for a midday concert promoting her new album
In 2010 she was one of the founders of Firsthand Coffee Cooperative, a student-led fair trade coffee enterprise incubated in the WVU Center for Resilient Communities. She writes: "I use my passion for music to educate and enlighten people about our beautiful environment and world, while trying to tap the heart and soul of communities striving for positive solutions. Exposure to other cultures has enriched my music to see the world through other frames of reference and become open to all possibilities of learning and growing while understanding my own West Virginia heritage."
“Dina uses music to show the understandings of interconnectedness of all things and people. She fondly connects to our mother earth and illustrates tree roots and other natural processes into her songs that show growth and harmonious balance. Her gratifying performances will leave you inspired and hopeful for our future together.”
