Empowering Women of Color Conference (EWOCC)

I will provide some prompt questions regarding being child free and will share my own experience. The content will be driven by participant discussion and sharing of their experiences being childfree. Have you been asked why you don’t have children or when you’re going to have children? Being childfree whether by choice or circumstance can be isolating and carries sometimes unfamiliar and often unacceptable emotions. How has being childfree shaped your identity and how have you navigated expectations of others? How does being LGBTQ+ impact being childfree? We are socialized to get married and have children and yet this is not preferred by nor is it possible for everyone.
