Webinar: Black Women in Architecture: Riding the Vortex August 12, 8:00-9:30 pm Eastern Time
Event Description
0.4%
That is the percentage of architects who are Black women. There are ~ 500 licensed Black women architects in the entire country.
You are invited to an incredibly unique storytelling presentation consisting of a panel of women, exclusively Black, in architecture, sharing their experience in the industry and offering a place for other people to share their stories, connect, and have discussions.
Riding the Vortex is presented by the Black Women in Architecture Network - a resource for licensed Black women architects, those aspiring to be architects, and other women in design, planning and allied professions.
What are your questions for these Black women architects?
Please share them here so we can help shape their talks and our time together to reflect this community!
