BWW Fundraiser – We’re going to the Movies (Friday Feb 17, 2012)

This Friday, February 17, 2012 Black Women for Wellness is having a fundraiser!!!

Join us at the Pan African Film Festival as we screen the film, “Venus Noire”. “Venus Noire” is an intense French film that explores the racism and voyeurism suffered by an African woman, Sarah Baartman of the Khoikhoi tribe at the hands of the French. A heart wrenching movie that gives insight into the history of the hypersexualization and degradation of the Black female body.

Civil Right Letter Opposing Frank Bill

Rep Frank Trent re-introduce Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act of 2011, which is a slick attempt to end abortion rights for women of color. We need your support in telling Congress that this is not OK, and women of color’s health and wellbeing should not be used as a political tool. We need you to send letters, call your Representatives and make sure women of color reproductive rights don’t get thrown under the bus!
