Tree Plantings Honor Beloved Educators

by NORA GRACE-FLOOD

Riverside Academy senior Davon Hardgrove shoveled dirt over the roots of a Zelkova tree planted in memory of a late principal who led his school through tough times — and pledged to continue her legacy of community service throughout his own life.

A crowd of city officials, school administrators, students like Hardgrove and community members convened outside the transitional school at 103 Hallock Ave. Friday morning to plant the Zelkova and a budding Japanese tree lilac not just in observance of Arbor Day, but in tribute to two recently passed educators, former Principal Wanda Gibbs and chemistry teacher Marites Siervo.

“We will never forget them,” said Riverside Principal Derek Stephenson of Gibbs and Siervo. “As those trees grow, they grow in our hearts, too.”

Those gathered for the ceremony agreed that the services provided by the saplings — from producing oxygen to filtering water to shading students, passerby and sidewalks — mirrored the kind of care offered by Gibbs and Siervo to Riverside, the last transitional school in New Haven which provides a destination for students struggling in traditional classrooms, as well as the broader New

Haven community. Read more about Wanda Gibbs, who grew up in New Haven and served the New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) system for years including in her capacity as Riverside principal beginning in 1994, here. She passed away at 70 years of age last July due to cancer.

Gibbs’ family sat beside the children and husband of Marites Siervo, a beloved Riverside chemistry teacher who passed away in June 2020 in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, as attendees took turns remembering both educators Friday.

“Siervo, affectionately known as Tess, was more than a teacher — she was a friend, a family member and a phenomenal cook,” Stephenson said. He recalled how Siervo would often cook up delicious Filipino dishes to share with her pupils and colleagues.

Gibbs, meanwhile, was a “tough New Havener that shielded her students,” just like the “urban tree that provides shade,” Stephen analogized. “She never swayed in her service to the Riverside community,” he said, and neither would the newly planted Zelkova.

When it comes to planting trees, Mayor Justin Elicker (pictured below) said, “the most important thing to do is to find someone to steward that tree.”

“If you don’t care for it, it won’t survive. That’s such a metaphor for the work you’re all doing here — you’re all people in our community focusing on stewarding young people so they can grow, so they can blossom, so they can reach their full potential.” ment of Defense organizations to begin ommend names that are ‘inspirational to the Soldiers and civilians who serve on our Army posts, and to the communities

The trees were provided by the Urban Resources Initiative (URI) — read more about that environmental nonprofit here. Renters, homeowners and businesses can all request free trees from URI by calling 203 – 432-6189, so long as they’re willing to water the trees during their first three years.

The students of Riverside will work together to take care of the two toddler Japanese trees during that vulnerable time period.

“They delivered exactly that with these dous accomplishments – from World War II through the Cold War – speak to the important history of this installation and to the courage, dignity, and devotion to dier training here at the home of the Army

From a 4-year-old orphan to an international award-winning actress

The inspiring story of Thuso Nokwanda Mbedu

by Ben Ebuka, Face2FaceAfrica.com

Growing up in the early 1990s, Thuso Mbedu never dreamt of being an entertainment figure. At a very young age, she wanted to be a dermatologist, but after taking a dramatic arts class in the 10th grade, she became interested in acting.

Her acting career has earned her fame and fortune locally and internationally, rising to become one of the most sought after actresses from South Africa. At 27, she was named in the 2018 Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 List, and one of the 100 Most Influential Africans by New African Magazine.

Born on July 8, 1991, at the Midlands Medical Center in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, to a Zulu mother and Xhosa and Sotho father, she never enjoyed the care of her parents who died when she was barely four years old. She was raised by her grandmother, a very strict school principal in school and at home. Her name reflected the multicultural tribes of her parents – Thuso is a Sotho name, Nokwanda is a Zulu name, and Mbedu is Xhosa.

Mbedu went to Pelham Primary School and Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School and graduated from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa in 2013, where she studied Physical Theatre and Performing Arts Management. Earlier in 2012, she took a summer course at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City.

Career

Her acting career began in 2014 when she played a minor role of ‘Nosisa’ in the popular South African Soap Opera ‘Isibaya’ from Mzansi Magic. In 2015, she played a guest role as ‘Kheti’ in the Second Season of the SABC 2 youth drama series ‘Snake Park.’

Price, Bonds & Hagan

She won the ‘TV Breakout Star’ award from the Hollywood Critics Association TV and won the ‘Outstanding Performance in New Series’ award from the Gotham Awards.

She got her first starring role in the teen drama television series ‘IS’THUNZI’ from Mzansi Magic where she played ‘Winnie.’ Her international debut was in ‘The Underground Railroad’ an American fantasy historical drama series based on the novel ‘The Underground Railroad’ written by Colson Whitehead.

New Haven Symphony Orchestra

Alasdair Neale, music director

Michelle Cann, piano

In 1912, a New Haven resident – the first Black woman to earn a degree from Yale University –took the stage with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra to premiere her Piano Concerto. 111 years later, New Haven audiences will once again have the opportunity to experience Helen Hagan’s music live in a concert hall. This program will also include Florence Price’s stunning First Piano Concerto, Margaret Bonds’s Montgomery Variations - a musical depiction of the historic Civil Rights events of Montgomery, Alabama - and contemporary composer Quinn Mason’s A Joyous Trilogy

In 2022, she starred in her first film ‘The Woman King’ an epic historical drama about Agosie, where an entire female warrior unit protected the West African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 17 – 19th century. She played ‘Nawi’, a zealous recruit in the military unit.

In 2017, Mbedu was nominated for the ‘DSTV Viewers Choice Awards’ and the ‘International Emmy Awards for the ‘Best Performance by an Actress’ for her role ‘Winnie Bhengu’ in the 2016 -2017 television drama series ‘IS’THUNZI.’

In 2018, she won the ‘South African Film and Television Awards’ for ‘ Best Actress – TV Drama’ for her role ‘Winnie Bhengu’ in the 2016 -2017 television drama series ‘IS’THUNZI.’ She was also nominated for the ‘International Emmy Awards for ‘Best Performance by an Actress’ for her role ‘Winnie Bhengu’ in the television drama series ‘IS’THUNZI.’

In 2021, she was nominated for the ‘Television Critics Association Award’ (Individual Achievement in Drama), the

In 2022, Mbedu was nominated for the ‘Independent Spirit Awards (Best Female Performance in a New Scripted Series), for her role ‘Cora Randall’ in the 2021 television series ‘The Underground Railroad.’ She won the ‘Critics Choice Television Awards’ for ‘Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Movie’ for her role ‘Cora Randall’ in ‘The Underground Railroad.’ In her keynote speech at TheWrap’s Power Women Summit, Thuso Mbedu tearfully spoke of how she overcame the loss of her dear parents, grandmother, and aunt. But her role in Amanda Lane’s ‘IS’THUNZI’ gradually renewed her hope in life.

“…my world was that blur, until Amanda Lane happened in 2016. The role that Amanda Lane gave me was the difference between life and death for me. Receiving that audition brief, I told myself that I would audition like it was my last audition. I gave it the last of everything that I had, that at the time I got the callback, I had nothing left. I secretly made the decision not to do the callback because I had nothing left to give. But fortunately, I received the callback. So I didn’t do the callback because the role was mine. I had given up. I was in a very dark place at the time, and the character, the role, the opportunity, was a much needed light. And I told myself that I will act as if it was the last character that I will play. And through a great script and an amazing director, I earned two International Emmy Awards for that role…”
