UK celebrates Women's History Month

March is Women's History Month — commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in America. Throughout history, women have faced a distinct set of challenges while continuing to make crucial contributions to our communities in both private and professional settings.

At the University of Kentucky, now more than ever, the community is making strides to acknowledge, celebrate and elevate the voices of those history has often overlooked. With programs like Ubuntu, Latinx Heritage Month, the MLK Day celebration and, most recently, Black History Month, UK is honoring the communities that have shaped the institution's story. 

To celebrate Women’s History Month, a planning committee, which includes UK Martin Luther King Center's undergraduate interns and campus partners, will host a variety of events for the campus community to participate in titled Womxn’s HERStory Month.

“Que émocion! I am thrilled to celebrate Womxn’s HERStory Month,” said Ruth Gonzalez Jimenez, MLK Center’s Latino student community specialist. “When I was a student at UK and an intern at the MLK Center, I helped coordinate Womxn’s HERStory Month. It is a pleasure to now help current MLK interns do the same.”

“Being a part of a committee full of women makes me feel empowered,” said Najiya Clayborn, MLK administrative support intern. “Our voices were at the forefront of this year’s vision. We are confident in our decisions and only want the best for our ladies near and on campus.”

Clayborn emphasized that all of the programs are open to everyone at UK and in the greater Lexington Community. 

The Womxn’s HERStory Month celebration will kick off at 11 a.m. Monday, March 6, with pop-up booths across campus. The UK community is invited to stop by, take a selfie and pick up cupcakes, cookies, cuties and Womxn’s HERStory Month swag (buttons, stickers, etc.).

On International Women's Day on March 8, the community is invited to attend the Prominent Women in Islam event with speaker Ustadha Lobna Mulla at 6 p.m. at the MLK Center, to learn the significance and importance of the hijab and why it matters so much to the women who wear it. This event is not only a part of the Womxn’s HERStory Month celebration but is also a part of UK’s Islamic Awareness Week, hosted by UK's Muslim Student Association. This, like all events, are open to the community to learn and engage in intercultural exchange. 

The community is also invited to attend the Womxn’s HERStory Month keynote address with Lynae Vanee at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 23, in the Gatton Student Center Ballroom AB. Vanee, an NAACP Image Award nominee, is a multifaceted poet, producer and director who will speak on the importance of liberating women. A graduate of Spelman College and Boston University, Vanee uses her digital platforms to speak on race, feminism, politics and inclusivity. Her address will be followed by a moderated discussion with Kishonna Gray, Ph.D., UK associate professor in writing, rhetoric, and digital studies and Africana studies.

The MLK Center will close out the month with the annual Coretta Scott King Celebration and Awards Dinner, where campus champions will be recognized through the Sisters Inspiring Sisters (SIS) Awards. The SIS Awards will recognize a graduate and undergraduate student and a staff and faculty member who have demonstrated commitment, sisterhood and service to other women on campus and beyond.
