Join us in The Mosaic (Commons 2b23) biweekly on Thursdays 3:00pm - 4:30pm for SistaCare!
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."
SistaCare is a community-care and dialogue group that explores the ways undergraduate and graduate students who identify as Black/Africana women and femmes, regardless of their gender expression, experience campus communities. Weekly sessions will explore experience, impact, and connection and are open to all individuals regardless of their sex, gender, race, ethnicity, or national origin. Come to learn, share, and connect!
This semester's sessions are as follows:
9/25: Kickoff: Who are We?

10/23: Intersecting Identities and Intersectionality
11/6: Bodies + Body Politics - All Shapes and Sizes
