Memphis, Tennessee-(March 22, 2015) In honor of the national month wide recognition of women's history, the special events committee of the Black Student Association will be hosting a panel discussion on Thursday, March 26 discussing various uncomfortable conversations in the female community that will take place in the university center.
BSA recognizes the important role that women have played throughout the history of society and also recognizes the many obstacles women still struggle with today across the world.
BSA hopes to encourage students to engage in the discussion and use the hashtag: #UncomfortableConversations while live tweeting at the event.
In the culture of BSA, the organization understands that panel discussions are often their best strategy to get students talking and involved on otherwise, touchy topics."I like coming to the BSA meetings when we have discussions on different subjects that are relevant at the time such as the Mike Brown situation or the discussion of the SEA fraternity in Oklahoma," says long term member, Courtney Stafford.
