Where: Brown Faculty Club

Time: 6-8:30pm

Join us for a workshop titled “The Deadly Superhero Complex- How to Get the U.S. to Stop ‘Saving’ Us” followed by a keynote with Vanessa Flores-Maldonado`14.

Vanessa (she/her) is a Guatemalan American woman, born and raised in Los Angeles before moving out to Providence. Vanessa is the first in her family to do a lot of things: graduate high school, go to college, and come out as queer. She first became involved with the Providence Youth Student Movement (PrYSM) as a part of the queer trans programming before she was hired to coordinate the Community Safety Act Campaign. January 2020 marks a significant time for Vanessa as she transitions to become PrYSM’s Co-Executive Director with Steven Dy as her other half.
