Sheeeit! It turns out I'll be moderating one of the workshops at a Filipina empowerment conference at my alma mater,
Barnard College (wink wink, nudge nudge,
Athena hehe:) Much discussion will be involved I'm sure, so I hope you go to the:
FORWARD Filipina 2001 Conference
Reaffirmation and Reconnection: Bridging the Gaps of HerStory
November 16 - 18, 2001
Barnard College
New York, NY
With this conference we hope to meet the demands of our
Filipina community by accomplishing a number of goals:
· To empower Filipino and Filipino American women through
education and awareness regarding the issues confronted
by the global Filipina community.
· To provide a venue for a broad-based community of Filipinas
on the East Coast to converge and network.
· To build bridges of understanding between Filipinas and
Filipina Americans through storytelling, education, and
networking, thereby creating lasting relationships for the future.
· To introduce a retrospective look at the story of our lives
as Filipinas, offering a deeper understanding of who we are
and where we’ve been: from the study of the pre-colonial Babaylan
and women of the revolution, to the migration/immigration to
Filipina American identity.
