"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!

CURL P.W.R (power with representation) was established to create a place that welcomes the discussion of and seeks a solution for social issues faced by People of Color in our UMBC community, specifically African American/African/Black people. This will happen through events that inform and connect individuals. This is so that we may come together as essential members of our community and so that others may be informed about how to be allies to their peers. What is one thing that connects us all? Our hair. This feature that connects us can be used for unity in our community as well as the education of others.

To request accommodation(s) or to inquire about event accessibility, please get in touch with us via email, csjdialogue.umbc.edu, with "Sistacare" in the subject line. All sessions are open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.
