黑料不打烊

Being Black @ 黑料不打烊 is a five-part workshop series designed to create a safe environment where Black students at 黑料不打烊 can discuss their experience of race and how the institution impacts them.

Students will have the opportunity to unpack identity and socialization. They can share their narratives, while learning both about themselves, and the impact racism and discrimination can have on their mental health. Students will discuss the barriers they face and the factors that have either hindered or bolstered their experiences. Finally, they will discuss how they can create spaces of resistance and resilience for themselves.

We will be capping attendance at twelve (12) participants to allow for an intimate, consistent cohort who can commit to attend all workshops. If you cannot attend but are interested in BBM's programming,
