A Seat at the Table Syllabus: A Call For Young Women of Color

Last year Solange Knowles dropped her album A Seat at the Table, which was definitely one of the best albums of 2016. Some of her fans loved the message of the album so much that they decided to create an online syllabus. The resource, which is currently under construction, will allow women of color to submit content that encourages the same themes that Solange’s album featured.

The curators wrote: “At the beginning of this new year – and as we witness the inauguration of a new president – we invite young women of colorr, ages 16-30, to have a seat at the table by helping us collect the texts, music, and visual art that speak to our experiences.”

The team behind this amazing idea includes Melissa Harris-Perry, Wake Forest University students and scholars who will examine resisting racism, understanding gender and sexuality and the role of relationships and nurturing ourselves.

For those interested in contributing material of their own to contribute to Solange’s syllabus, work may be submitted by Jan. 31 at seatsyllabus.com.
