Angie Melissa González Chaverra

Poet
Dancer
Afro-Colombian cultural educator, Fulbright Scholar, and Afro-Diasporic dance instructor with over 10 years of experience teaching dance and movement in both communities and academic spaces.
Rooted in her Afro-Colombian heritage from the Chocó region, she blends traditional rhythms, storytelling, self-expression, identity, and contemporary movement to create spaces of collective healing, empowerment, and upliftment. Angie has led workshops and classes across diverse settings in Colombia and the U.S., from local schools and academic institutions such as Howard University, Michigan State University and Georgia State University to wellness centers, women’s circles, and international cultural programs with artists from diverse social, economic, and cultural backgrounds. Her teaching practice is informed by a commitment to social justice, joy, and the reclamation of ancestral movement; and her classes center the Black experience with her own philosophy of My Black Body Speaks™, fostering intergenerational learning, and celebrating the body as a site of resistance and liberation. In August 2022, Angie became the first Afro-Colombian person to win the prestigious Fulbright scholarship in the Arts category. She recently graduated with honors from the Masters of Africana Studies at Georgia State University. Her work has been featured at GSU, TANTV, Fulbright Colombia, MSU, and more.
