We are multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-generational women and girls of color. We are African Americans, Latinx, Muslim Americans, Asian Americans, immigrants, refugees and asylees.
As women and girls of color, we experience overlapping oppressions which disrupt and upend our lives every day.
We believe that collective power is the key to transforming individual lives and the lives of those in our communities.
Our work centers the needs and dreams of women and girls of color in the education system in the face of deep-seated institutional inequities. For girls and young women, we help fulfill the dream of a college degree —and beyond. For women, we create and implement strategies of survival to combat the isms (racism, sexism, classism, colorism) and phobias (homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia) which threaten to push them out of their doctoral programs and the academy.
We help to advance the larger movement for equity and justice for people of color and other marginalized communities. During the past 20 plus years, we have helped over 95 women of color to earn higher education degrees including Ph.Ds. in Math, Science and Economics.
Our overarching goal is to help women and girls of color live in freedom and dignity and to pass this on to the next generation.
