Womanism reinforces what has been forgotten in feminist conversations throughout history, that all women deserve to have their stories told, but our own personal intersections with race and gender, affect how we navigate this world, and view feminism. The Womanist Club will stand as an organization where women of all backgrounds can feel safe and have a platform to discuss issues and topics that affect them and how they socialize with the world.
The mission of the Womanist Club is to establish an engaging and intellectual community where students of all cultural backgrounds at the University of Rochester can come together and raise awareness of the many facets of women’s experiences, specifically women of color’s experiences in America; including popular culture, politics, history, and relating these topics back to Diasporic roots for all non-white identifying women.
