Did your parents migrate to the US before you were born or when you were a young child? Do you Identify as a woman of color? If you do, then this is the place for you!
Join us in discussing all things female children of immigrant parents go through and discuss how you have navigated between two worlds. We will explore how your unique experiences have helped and/or hindered you and how they have shaped the way you see yourself in the world. Our goal is to forge meaningful connections and gain insight from the collective wisdom of the community being built within this group.
