While a student at Temple, Ms. Coleman was introduced to West African Dance which she continued to study after graduating. For almost 20 years, she has danced with several local dance companies including CIPAC and Emi Ife under the artistic direction of Philadelphia’s own Cachet Ivey. It was her love of African dance that fueled her aspiration to support the community and in 2013, Ms. Coleman founded Our Community-Our Village, a local grass-roots, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting women in the community with resources for financial help for college-bound children as well as fundraising for local arts programs.

Aside from Ms. Coleman’s love of the arts and community, she is the proud mother of her daughter Nadira who is also a graduate of Temple University with a degree in English and the University of Leeds with a Masters in Communication.
