We Are MAWOCC

We are women of color who identify as Black (or African Descent), Latina or Hispanic (non-white), Asian, Middle Eastern, Native American, or of indigenous descent. We envision a Commonwealth of authentic inclusion where racism and sexism no longer dictate the outcomes of women of color and our communities.
