Q and A with Bridgett Cannon, intern |
|
| |
Bridgett CannonWhat makes you laugh?
- Curb Your Enthusiasm, hearing toddlers talk and seeing my friends dance
What music captivates you?
- Music that captivates me is songs typically found on theatre and movie soundtracks that tell a story and give me an escape from my own reality. Examples are, but definitely not limited to: Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler” from The Gambler soundtrack, Stephanie Mills’ version of “Home” from The Wiz, Jennifer Hudson’s “I Am Changing” from the Dreamgirls soundtrack, John C. Reilly’s “Mister Cellophane” from the Chicago soundtrack, “Maybe God Is Tryin' To Tell You Somethin’” from The Color Purple soundtrack and all of the songs from the soundtrack Hair.
What book do you consider to be the best you've read? (The kind that when you finish you wish you'd never started it because you want to go back to the beginning and read it with fresh eyes and soul but you can't because you have already read it.)
- The book(s) that I consider to the best that I’ve read would be the “Full” series written by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes.
When/where are you most creative?
- I am most creative when the temperature is seventy-four degrees, I have my own sand and am listening to waves crashing at the beach.
What is your favorite poem?
- Ego Trippin’ by Nikki Giovanni
Words you will never forget:
- “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
Most memorable milestone:
- Getting in my car and driving from Charlotte, N.C. to Los Angeles, Calif.

Young adult intern Bridgett N. Cannon discussed The Womanist Theology Primer — Remembering What We Never Knew: The Epistemology of Womanist Theology with her aunt, the Reverend Dr. Katie G. Cannon. Dr. Cannon was the first African-American woman ordained as a minister of the Word and Sacrament in Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). In a conversation that lasted more than an hour, Bridgett not only learned more about womanism, but she learned more about herself as an African-American woman. The two women discussed the foundation of womanist theology, the identity of Womanist and the urgent need to spread the word of womanism to not just African-American women, but to people of all ethnicities, ages, cultures and gender. Read Bridgett's reflection.
