Circle for women of color
Posted February 4, 2021 by flapyourwings in Circles

Putting this on the list so it's on our collective radar.

So far I have seen mentions for:

  • a general women of color Circle

  • a Circle specifically for Asian women

  • a Circle specifically for Black women

Would love to hear more from our users on this.

Edit: I tried to fix this ugly formatting but I got a server error OH WELL.

Not sure why this doesn't already exist tbh

Because a circle needs good and dedicated mods and rushing the process will just cause problems later on. That’s why new circles are being introduced so slowly.

Lots of people asking for the space; many fewer volunteering their time to create and run it.

How can people volunteer themselves and what criteria do they have to fit to be chosen? If the issue is that no one's volunteering, well I haven't heard a call for any volunteers of the sort. The process has to be less opaque if that's the limiting factor in making this kind of circle a reality.

Edit: Really wonder what the deleted reply to my comment was to be deleted so quickly, and who posted it. I think more transparency all around would be a good thing here.

As ever, alas.
