Join us this Saturday 12/05 for the last session in our Audre Lorde Reading & Discussion Series: Women of Color and Systems of Health. In this last workshop, we will talk about the lessons learned from Lorde’s previous work and read excerpts from The Cancer Journals, Breast Cancer: A Black Lesbian Feminist Experience and Brest Cancer: Power vs. Prosthesis to discuss how women of color create their own spaces for self-care, often within neglectful and dehumanizing health... care systems.
