The Togetherness: QTBIPOC Gatherings are a collaboration between MESA and the Spectrum Center focusing on centering the experiences of Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and Students of Color through sharing meals, discussions, and creating connections with people in the QTBIPOC community at UM and in the surrounding areas.

This event’s host will be Karen Montoya. Karen Montoya is a senior graduate student in the Chemistry department working on the development of a diagnostic tool. She is interested in the retention of underrepresented students in higher education. As such, she has been involved in community building and provided mentorship for both college-level and middle school level. She is very excited to meet you all and hopes she can learn about your experiences as students or individuals, or both.

Event Location: The clinic will take place on the 4th Floor at the Ann Arbor District Library's downtown location (343 S. Fifth Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48104). A detailed wayfinding guide will be available at https://bit.ly/SCeventnav.

We will provide details on how to legally change your name and gender marker in the state of Michigan. Information on how to update your Social Security, Passport, Driver’s License, and Birth Certificate will also be available. Legal volunteers will be on-site after the presentation to answer questions and assist with forms.

*PLEASE NOTE:* There will be an officer from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office to offer fingerprinting at the event. This is a necessary step in the process for adults 22 or older, and providing the officer in this space skips the need to go to the Sheriff's Office directly and individually.

The Love Her Collective: A community-academic partnership to address the needs of transgender women of color in Detroit (June 7, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/94917 94917-21785259@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, June 7, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here: http://www.cew.umich.edu/events/the-love-her-collective-a-community-academic-partnership-to-address-the-needs-of-transgender-women-of-color-in-detroit

This workshop will present the origin, current projects, and lessons learned from the Love Her Collective. The Love Her Collective is a community-academic partnership between researchers in the School of Public Health and the non-profit the Trans Sistas of Color Project.

Since 2017, members of the Love Her Collective have been engaged in focus group research, in-depth interviews, survey research, program evaluation, and intervention adaptation and testing to understand and address the needs of transgender women of color in Detroit. Through lecture and group discussion format, this workshop will provide an overview of building and sustaining community partnerships. Insights and lessons learned for sustaining partnership activities will be discussed in light of historical events in the U.S. and internationally – including the Black Lives Matter movement, the increased visibility of systemic violence toward transgender people worldwide, and the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on communities of color.

Additionally, an integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of well-being, focus, and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.
