Young Women of Color Making History
To celebrate Women's History Month, CLASP profiled six young women of color who are creating change in their communities. As activists, artists, and healers, these incredible leaders are reimagining sytems, dismantling structures, and reclaiming narratives. In difficult times, these young women remind us of our individual and collective power to change the world. Please continue to uplift their stories beyond the month of March with these sample tweets:
