Join this week’s Green Table Talk

Green Terror Table Talks, a weekly virtual space for Students of Color, presents “You’re pretty for a ______ girl” this Thursday, March 25, at 3pm on Zoom. Fill in the blank! What does this even mean? Do they only see your pigment, skin tone, complexion, hair type, accent, facial features and do these attributes put you in a box that they can stick a label on?

Let’s unpack this, the stigmas, the social standards of what “beautiful” is, and the appropriation of these “beauty” features. Email Jose Moreno (jmoreno@mcdaniel.edu) with any questions.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? What do your career, family, friends, health, and home look and feel like? Are you happy? Accomplished? These are some big and important questions!

Join Sister to Sister on Wednesday, March 31 at 6pm in-person in Hill Hall 110 or on Zoom for a Vision Planning and Goal Setting Workshop.
