UC San Diego Women's Center 20th Anniversary Celebration: The Future of Feminism with Jamia Wilson
Thursday, May 11, 2017
5pm I Price Center West Ballroom

JAMIA WILSON is many things: An activist. A feminist. A storyteller. A mediamaker. But more than anything, she is a natural-born thought leader. As Executive Director of Women, Action and the Media (WAM!) , an organization committed to achieving gender justice in the media, former Executive Director of YTH, the former TED Prize Storyteller, and former President of Programs at The Women's Media Center, Jamia has been a powerful force in the social justice movement for nearly a decade. 

As a leading voice on feminist and women's rights issues, her work and words have appeared in and on several outlets such as New York Magazine, The Today Show, and The Washington Post. She's also a staff writer for Rookie Magazine and has contributed to several books such as Madonna and Me: Women Writers on the Queen of Pop, and I Still Believe Anita Hill. But what we' re most excited about is her own book that she's currently writing about Beyonce and feminism. (Yes, really.) It's no surprise she was named in Refinery29's "17 Faces of the Future of Feminism."
