In collaboration with the Q Center, UW Housing & Food Services, the UW Women’s Center and the ASUW Womxn’s Action Commission, the Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center proudly presents the 17th Annual Womxn of Color Celebration (formerly Womxn of Color Reception). Join us for a feel-good luncheon where we’ll celebrate ourselves, be in community and envision new futures together. This year’s program features the ever-amazing Dr. Joy Williamson – Lott as our keynote speaker, q&a, and a catered lunch. We hope to see you there!
