Description
This will be a drop-in workshop held on Fridays from 2:00p-3:00p
virtually via WebEx. See link below in Comments section to register and receive meeting link and password.
Our
hope is to create a community in which our sisters can speak about
their journeys navigating oppressive (often patriarchal and
cis/hetero-normative) systems and learn tips for how to engage in mental
and emotional wellness from liberating and empowering perspectives.
During six weekly, themed workshops we will explore how our race,
ethnicity, gender, and
sexuality impact our ability to feel safe/heard in systems that
prioritize whiteness and privilege. We believe that finding a shared
voice in collective experiences of being misheard/not heard will give
rise to resilience, solidarity, and liberated wellness that recognizes
the impact of toxic environments.
If you or students you know identify as women of color and are
interested, please contact the Counseling Center at
