Jawole Willa Jo Zollar draws our attention to the deliberate structures within city planning and development that metaphorically and physically perpetuate racial barriers. This sentiment reflects her lifelong dedication to breaking down these and other barriers through the transformative power of dance and social advocacy.

Urban Bush Women

Founded in 1984 by choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Urban Bush Women (UBW) seeks to bring the untold and under-told histories and stories of disenfranchised people to light through dance. We do this from a woman-centered perspective and as members of the African Diaspora community in order to create a more equitable balance of power in the dance world and beyond.
