Black Graduate Student Summer Support Circle
by brianaw3@illinois.edu (Briana Williams) / Jun 3, 2020
As Black graduate students, we may be shouldering multiple stressors such as general graduate student struggles, virus related injustices, and household/family responsibilities. During this pandemic, it’s not unusual to start to feel fatigue (if you’re not already exhausted), to notice emotions (e.g. fear, grief, uncertainty, etc.), and have periods where you’re overwhelmed. Within this circle, we will cultivate our cultural resources and the power of the community for support. We will facilitate discussions and dialogues about healing, change, and power.
