FORUM (Toronto) - April 26/09 - Indigenous Feminist Activist Herstory - with Jessica Yee


From the Health Equity Council listserv:

It's an Indigenous Feminist Activist Herstory Forum at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre - Featuring Jessica Yee!

Free event on Sunday April 26th!

A self-described "Indigenous feminist reproductive justice freedom fighter" Jessica Yee is up front, in your face, and unapologetic about who or what she is. As the founder and director of the Native Youth Sexual Health Network, a North America wide organization working on issues of healthy sexuality, cultural competency, and youth empowerment, Jessica imparts a cross-cutting perspective gained from the front lines all across Turtle Island. Never one to shy away from controversy and always ready to take up the next challenge, she's constantly trying to reclaim, restructure, and redefine what being a feminist is really all about.

Sunday April 26th, 2-4pm

17 Phoebe St.

Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape
