FEBRUARY 2020
I had the opportunity to work with the USF Cultural Centers in creating the first Critical Connections Conference graphic for 2020. The purpose of this conference is to engage members of the University of San Francisco and the greater San Francisco Bay Area community in centering the experiences of womxn of color. By drawing on our past, reflecting on our present, and envisioning our future, the Office of Diversity Engagement and Community Outreach and the Cultural Centers at USF hope to create a cross-cultural space for sharing and building with and for each other that will build the individual and collective capacity of future womxn of color leaders.
HISTORY & THEME
This year’s theme is “Tu Eres Mi Otro Yo | You Are My Other Me.” This year, we bring together two conferences with interlocking histories - Latinas in Leadership and the Womxn of Color Conference - each focused on centering the experiences of womxn of color. As we move forward, we acknowledge the importance of recognizing what braids us together as one community. Critical Connections honors the knowledge bestowed upon us by our elders and recognizes the importance of developing a pipeline of leaders. This radical new space will thrust us forward into new beginnings that we hope will be filled with laughter, light, and liberation.
