The mission of the Black Women and Femmes Research Summit (BWFRS) is to create a peer-led space where all who identify as Black women and femmes conducting research at UCLA can be highlighted as the leaders of innovation while fostering a vibrant and inclusive community that values, elevates, and “gives flowers” to the contributions of Black women and femmes in research. BWFRS aims to inspire and equip the next generation of Black women and femmes in research with the knowledge, networks, and resilience needed to make a profound impact at UCLA and beyond.
