Description
Please join us for our first discussion group of the semester on September 24 from 3-4pm! We will be diving into how women of color were represented on the most recent season of Love Island. We’ll also discuss the history of reality television and how it has represented women of color over the years.
WOCC will take place in the Women's, Gender, & Equity Center Lounge, biweekly on Wednesdays from 3-4 pm throughout the Fall semester. If you would like to receive reminders and details about the meetings, please follow our myUMBC and Instagram page!
All self-identified women and femmes of color students, staff, and faculty are welcome to share their stories and learn about others’ experiences at Women of Color Collective. This discussion-based program follows the WGEC's Brave Space model to provide a welcoming and thoughtful environment for engaging in conversations focused on the intersections of gender and race.
