Student-Initiated Groups

Women of Color Circle

A student-led space to support community, health, and well-being for self-identified women of color undergraduates, graduate students, and alumnae at UCSB.

In the Spring of 2012, the Women of Color Circle was formed as a space to support community, health, and well-being for self-identified women of color undergraduates, graduate students, and alumnae at UCSB. Since then, we have developed the Circle as a group dedicated to community building, community and self-care, wellness, and sustainability. We hold weekly meditation sittings, discussion sessions, film screenings, and social gatherings.

We and our families are from Mexico, the Philippines, Armenia, Lebanon, China, Thailand, Egypt, the Chickasaw Nation, India, Pakistan, Korea, Colombia, Vietnam, Japan, Cuba, Native American, Middle Eastern, Asian Pacific Islander, Latina, and African American roots. From the very start, our work has been initiated and determined by students to address a need for a formal, student-led space that unites women of color at UCSB across age, discipline, and ethnic boundaries. We are a collective of women, queer, immigrant, and working class mothers and students of color.

For more information about the Women of Color Circle, please contact: womenofcolorcircle@gmail.com.

The Women of Color Circle is funded through The Center for Research on Women and Social Justice
