In her essay, Audre Lorde “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action,” Audre Lorde asks, “What are the words you do not have? What do you need to say? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? …. Because I am myself -- a Black woman warrior poet doing my work -- come to ask you, are you doing yours?” This panel features the work of four women of color, all junior faculty and organizing members of Lehman Envision ARC -- a coalition of faculty and students working toward an anti-racist university attuned to the community of scholars it serves in the Bronx. Each presentation demonstrates the importance behind women of color organizing together: they create the solidarity and support necessary to thrive and survive not otherwise offered by the university. LEA serves as a platform to envision a college campus that demands equity for its students, faculty, and staff, free of hierarchical divides and injustices. It represents the grassroots formation of a university community unto ourselves, providing resources in lack, including: mentorship, interdisciplinary promotion of one another’s research, collaborative grant writing, curriculum design, and Union and OMBUDS representation for and by us. The members of this collective offer one another support and energy that the university & college, due to systems of structural racism, have failed to provide.
