In March, the Women's Month calendar spotlights contributions and accomplishments of the past and present and envision a future of possibilities. The month's theme, Trailblazers: Women Making History, recognizes the women who led movements, broke down barriers, and began dismantling systems of oppression. We celebrate those who have and those who continue to blaze trails of opportunity and advancement for all who identify as woman and girl.

Women’s Month recognizes, affirms, and showcases the achievements, concerns, and diversity of women. A feminist perspective – one that encourages and advances women of all races, political affiliations, national origins, religions, ages, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and income levels – underlies all our programming. Women's Month is a non-profit community project funded by Virginia Tech, area organizations, student groups, local businesses, and citizens' contributions. It is the combined effort of students, faculty, staff and administrators at Virginia Tech, as well as activists, residents, and civic leaders of the surrounding communities.  
Black Women's Stories of Joy and Achievement
In honor and celebration of Black History Month, the Women’s Center gathered and shared stories of achievement and joy from the Black women* in our community.

*We acknowledge that womanhood and gender identity are fluid and unique to each individual. We welcome stories from all who feel they may fall under the identity of “woman”.

On this episode, we are featuring stories from Dr. Andrea Baldwin, Shannon Alford and Jariah.
