Panel Discussion
THINKERS & TROUBLEMAKERS
Join us for our Festival Focus Panel Discussion with deep thinkers, take-charge doers and long-time troublemakers. A roundtable discussion with queer women of color activists who have taught us what it means to stand at the intersections of gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, nationality and culture. This panel illustrates the paths that have led to our current crossroads and illuminates our way forward through social justice feminism.
