Let’s create inclusive spaces that uplift and empower all women in architecture. Let’s acknowledge the intersecting identities and experiences of women architects, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, and socio-economic backgrounds. Let’s consider the unique challenges and barriers faced by women from marginalized communities. Let’s gather for a conversation, sharing insights, expertise, success stories, and room for growth. We welcome you to spend your lunch hour on 4/29 to join the conversation!
