This group is specifically tailored to address the needs and issues salient to African American/ Black women. The purpose is to initiate community, education, and support for African American /Black women who are students at UCD. Our theme for the year is "Mind, Body, & Soul" and we will focus on issues related to uplifting the emotional health of African American/Black women (e.g. self esteem; relationships; impact of skin color and hair on life experiences; spirituality; being an African American/Black student at UC Davis). We will use a variety of media, including music, poetry, and film clips to enhance understanding and dialogue around the issues explored in the group.
