While everyone is welcome to attend the Empowering Women of Color Open Mic, this is a space that intentionally centers the experiences, voices, and bodies of women* of color. Come and be part of an inspiring community rooted in Black feminism, radical storytelling, and the celebration of women’s experiences. See you there!
* We use ‘women’ as a term that embraces all who experience or connect with womanhood, whether through identity, spirit, or lived experience—past, present, future, and fluid—while honoring the diverse ways that gender may be experienced, including by trans, and non-binary folks.
