Women of Color Network

Women of color experience unique perspectives at the intersection of race and gender. This dual identity often results in distinct social, economic, and cultural outcomes that are not fully addressed by movements focusing solely on either race or gender. By fostering connections and celebrating their achievements, we can promote inclusivity, amplify their voices, and work towards a more equitable society for all.
