Women of Color Resource Center: An Interview with Anisha Desai

Have Fun - Do Good

The Women of Color Resource Center has been around for a little over 17 years and we are a pretty impressive place, I think, because we are one of the very few places in the nation, and globally, that holds the interest of women of color, and girls of color as a central piece of our work.

Have Fun - Do Good

We're ignorant and don't understand the history of these oppressions and how they undermine our work as activists, and as allies, and undermines our solidarity with each other. And because for centuries and centuries and centuries, men have written history, we don't even know about all of the women changemakers out there.

Have Fun - Do Good

Most weeks his podcast is a direct chat with his listeners, but this week he posted a recent speech, "Moving Forward in Iraq" that he gave at the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations.
