Wed, 07/07/2010 - 3:30pm - 5:00pm
Please join us as LaTosha Traylor explores the ways in which motherhood and mothering are organized or structured for Black women who have a history of incarceration. Tosha is a PhD student at UIC. She was an intern for Visible Voices in 2006. She says, "Grace House and the ladies of Visible Voices hold a special place in my heart, so I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas." Plus, Tosha is bringing dinner!
