Join DiversAbility at Yale, Working Women’s Network, Yale African American Affinity Group, and WorkLife for a panel event that will feature university staff sharing their experiences of parenting a child with a disability.

Are you the parent of a child ages 3-10 who is not yet a good sleeper? Parents of babies and toddlers are given lots of advice to help them improve their child’s sleep, but parents of older children are often not sure what to do if their kids still don’t sleep well. Parents (with all of the right intentions, of course) often do two things at bedtime that may make their children worse sleepers: allowing too many extra requests after the bedtime routine is over, and staying with a child until he or she falls completely asleep.
On behalf of the Working Women’s Network (WWN), we would like to invite you to join us for a celebration of our 2021 Recognition Award recipients on Thursday, April 22 at 12-1 pm via Zoom.

Join the Working Women’s Network and Office of Cooperative Research to discuss AmplifyHerScience, a new initiative within the University to amplify and support women in science.

This is a two-part introduction:
Delve into the stereotypes that black women in American have faced both past and present and how they shape our perceptions of each other and ourselves. Led by Jameela Jackson and Mackenzi Davis, learn the burdens placed on black women and what we can do to change it.
This conversation will be informational for our friends and allies who would like to help change the way the world sees and treats black women.
Join us for the next meeting of the WWN Book Club. We will be reading Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly. We hope you will join us for a great discussion. New members are always welcome!
