[Rx2021] New Sister Circle Initiative - First meeting Friday, March 19

My name is Jazzkia Jones, and I am a second-year master’s student in the Higher Education program. During my two years in the School of Education, I have found that my strength for continued pursuit has come from the multiple connections and support I’ve formed with other Womxn of Color across programs. This realization led me to the desire to form a Sister Circle, aimed at providing a safe and brave space for student Womxn of Color to share in an effort to support, empower, and commune with one another.

Housed within the Office of the Associate Dean of Equity and Justice, this initiative is student-led, and is open to all students (Master’s, Doctoral, Part-Time, etc.) who are womxn (gender conforming, non-conforming, and transgender) and identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC). The goal is to engage amongst our collective group through academic readings, pop culture critiques, and healing practices.

Our first meeting is scheduled for Friday, March 19, 2021 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  As I know many of us are balancing several roles while also being a student, I hope this time during the early afternoon will allow us a break in our schedules to gather. We will also be reading Integrating Black Consciousness and Critical Race Feminism Into Family Studies Research by April L. Few (accessible thought Pitt Libraries). Please find the reading attached. A Zoom link will be shared with students closer to the date. For questions, suggestions, or concerns, please email me at jmj90 at pitt.edu<mailto:jmj90 at pitt.edu>.

Sincerely,
Jazzkia
