Mammyfication of Black Women in Independent Schools

The goal of this workshop is to examine the challenges of women of color in leadership in schools with an acute focus on Black women/anti-blackness in independent schools. The inspection and reflection of this reality is part and parcel to understanding the experiences of girls of color in independent school settings. Participants will hear a framework from COCo (the Centre for Community Organizations) adapted to independent schools and will begin a thought process on the de-mammyfication of women of color in their institutions.
