This event seeks to topple monolithic notions of Black Womanhood. Through truthful and nuanced conversation, we will complicate our understanding of Black Womanhood by exploring the layers of Black Women’s rich and textured experiences. We will explore questions such as: what does it mean for blackness and womanness to intersect with other identities on the “diversity wheel”? What does it mean to simultaneously occupy identities across the spectrums of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, ability, citizenship, skin color, wealth, neurodiversity? How do privilege and race play different or overlapping roles in diverse cultural contexts? And how does the experience of being African American differ between specific African communities and the United States?

The guest speaker is Chloe Dulce Louvouezo, a Congolese-American author of the newly published book, Life, I Swear: Intimate Stories from Black Women on Identity, Healing and Self-Trust, and the Executive Producer and Host of the "Life, I Swear" podcast. Through the book and podcast, Chloe excavates her personal story and the stories of some of today’s most influential Black female voices, on their private journeys through pain, joy, transformation, growth and unapologetic self-love. Ms. Louvouezo is a Senior Communications Officer at The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Commissioner on Washington, DC Mayor Bowser’s Commission for Women, and co-founder of Open Door Concept in Northeast DC.

The Diversity and Inclusion at Georgetown (DiG) e-board and the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy held the first of a two-part series on DEI Change Agents in the U.S. State Department series. The first event focused on the role of senior leadership, with special guest Ambassador Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. 

This event series will highlight the efforts and leadership needed to implement change on diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in the State Department. These events will also shed light on how this process takes place at different levels within the institution through the valuable perspectives from senior leadership and mid-level officers.

Join GradGov, Georgetown Women in International Affairs, Diversity and Inclusion @ Georgetown, and GAGE for the second event in our summer series! On Friday July 24 at 8PM EST, we will be hosting an informal Zoom conversation on the Netflix series Dear White People, an American comedy-drama television series on Netflix that follows several black college students at an Ivy League institution, touching on issues surrounding modern American race relations. We invite all of those attending to watch the first 20 minute episode on their own (available on Netflix, YouTube, or Amazon) and come speak on reactions, inspirations, and reflections. The conversation will be facilitated by a moderator to encourage a safe space and substantive discussion. Put on your fandom hats and come join us!

Considering the events surrounding racial justice and inequality that have been taking place in our country in recent months, we believe that strengthening our graduate student community with social events can serve as a tool to get to know each other and to address these issues on and off campus with a dialectical approach. As a result, GradGov, GAGE, Diversity and Inclusion @ Georgetown, and Georgetown Women in International Affairs (GWIA) have joined forces to organize a series of summer events. It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to join us for a virtual game night and happy hour on July 8th to kick things off.
