Join the Yale African American Affinity Group, Yale Latino Networking Group, LGBTQ Affinity Group, and Working Women’s Network for a virtual screening of Jamaica y Tamarindo: Afro Tradition in the Heart of Mexico. Following the documentary, Ebony Bailey, the film’s cinematographer and director will join us for a live discussion.
Disability is often framed as the unfortunate exception or problem to fix on the periphery, but what would happen if we brought disability to the center of the conversation? Rebekah Taussig grew up believing that her disabled body made her an outsider and disqualified her from some of the most fundamental parts of being human. In this talk, she resists that narrative, exploring how our perspectives might expand if we brought disability to the center. How might our understanding of beauty, love and romance, movement, work, and storytelling evolve and transform?

Join the Working Women’s Network, Yale African American Affinity Group, and Yale Athletics Department for the 2020 Women In Series kickoff event. The focus of the Women In Series is to bring together a diverse mix of Yale’s women leaders who are successful in traditionally male-dominated fields, such as athletics, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Our intent is to inspire and encourage women to reflect on their own goals and status as they strive to advance in their careers and lives, especially in non-traditional fields and roles.
