A student project to strengthen a women of color healing circle at the University of Washington Bothell has won $5,000 from T-Mobile. The company selected the project as the winner of the Create the Change contest, which is a regular feature of the university\u2019s annual Equity & Inclusion Conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The informal healing circle was started this year by Gloria Giselle Gonzalez-Zapata and Nura A. Abdi, who have been meeting with about a half-dozen others in the Student Diversity Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The healing circle<\/a> is conceived as a space where students can be authentically themselves and where they can cultivate a judgment-free sense of belonging using story-telling to nourish good mental health, said Gonzalez-Zapata. The senior, who is majoring in Law, Economics & Public Policy and in Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies, also is a member of the Husky 100, which recognizes outstanding UW students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognition, support <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Gonzalez-Zapata graduating in June, the healing circle project will be led by Abdi, a junior studying Law, Economics & Public Policy and Global Studies. She also is a student organizer involved on campus in the Muslim Student Association, Black Student Union and Social Justice Organizers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funding from T-Mobile will help the student organizers purchase books and other materials, arrange retreats centered around healing and resilience, and hold social justice training available to the campus community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a space where we\u2019re aiming to build a community of strong, resilient women of color,\u201d said Abdi. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to get the recognition.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifting one another <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Equity & Inclusion Conference is another way the university builds community. It is a platform \u201cto lift one another and make UW Bothell a better place,\u201d Chancellor Wolf Yeigh said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event featured six workshops on topics that included supporting victims of sexual violence, best practices for undocumented students, and a board game illustrating the impacts of race, gender and class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keynote speaker Loretta Ross brought the conference together with a talk called, \u201cCalling IN the Calling OUT Culture: Accountability through Love.\u201d The visiting professor of practice in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University warned of public shaming she has seen on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of \u201ccalling out,\u201d she called for privately urging change with a \u201ccalling in\u201d based on love, self-love and mutual respect to build a united human rights movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCalling in is a bridge role where someone crosses you to a higher understanding,\u201d Ross said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnerships <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fifth annual conference, held May 10 in the Activities & Recreation Center, drew about 180 people, including UW Bothell staff, faculty and students as well as educators and others from outside of campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

T-Mobile has been a conference partner since the beginning, said Wayne Au, interim campus diversity officer and dean of Diversity & Equity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event also was supported by the Office of the Chancellor, Office of Alumni Engagement, Student Diversity Center, and the Associated Students of the University of Washington Bothell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
