Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Viento, Wanda L" <>]

Hi All,

 

We had Jewel Woods as our keynote speaker for WHM. He spoke on Feminism and Masculinity: How to Be a Black Male Feminist. I would strongly recommend him as a speaker on a number of issues. He does a lot of work with human trafficking and domestic violence. He’s very relational, great interactions with students, very passionate about the work. He challenges a lot of our preconceptions about feminism. He wrote The Black Male Privilege Checklist which you can find on his website. I talked with a number of men afterwards and they thought his message long overdue. Very straightforward guy. I think we’re all left with so much to process and that’s what we like. Soapbox Speakers is his booking agent.

His website is www.jewelwoods.com.
