    Broome Library Black Scholars on Black Lives Lecture

    From the Margins to the Center: A Critical Examination of Black Women's Communicative resistance by Dr. Shardé Davis

    Tuesday March 1st at 3pm Pacific

    Register at: https://csuci.libcal.com/event/8883560

    Description: The ''strong Black woman'' ideal is a controlling image in U.S. society that places pressure on Black American women to maintain a facade of self-sufficiency, independence, and stoicism at all times and across their lifespan. Strength has historically been an insidious determinant of Black women's degenerative well-being. However, it may also serve as a powerful agent for their survival in an oppressive world. See registration link above for further details!

    Warmly,

    Colleen
