Black History Month Panel Discussion: Black Woman Superhero Complex, a panel of speakers will weigh in on what is otherwise known as the “strong Black woman narrative,” Old Main Colloquium, 12:30 to 2 p.m.

The panel, moderated by Katrina Hodge, assistant director of multicultural life and diversity, will share their perspectives, advise how they navigate through the BWS complex in their lives and in predominately white spaces, and offer suggestions on how to support Black women as they seek to navigate the unrealistic expectations imposed on them.

Panelists will include Yolanda Clarke, assistant professor of health; Tracy Hudson, assistant professor of physical education; Eden Strachan, author and founder of Black Girls Don’t Get Love; student Kyrstin White; Natalie Marie Angela Yoder, area coordinator in the Residence Life and Housing Office; and student Kyla Young.

The presentation will run from 12:30 to 2 p.m. in Old Main Colloquium.
