GET TO KNOW US
"Dolor, placer y muerte no son más que el proceso de la existencia. La lucha revolucionaria en este proceso es una puerta abierta a la inteligencia"
-Frida Kahlo
Pain, pleasure and death are nothing more than the process of existence. The revolutionary struggle in this process is an open door to intelligence.
Who We Are
​
Welcome to the Wisconsin Women of Color Network (WWOCN), where you're not just a member; you're family. Rooted in the heart of Wisconsin, we've been a beacon of empowerment and unity for women of color for over 38 years.
We emerged from the vision of the regional Minority Women's Employment Conference back in 1980, growing and evolving to become what we are today: a vibrant, multifaceted network committed to enriching the lives of women of color, their families, and their communities.
​
What We Do
​
WWOCN serves as your bridge to opportunity, voice, and community. With a reach spanning across the state, we bring women of color together through a variety of regular and special programs designed to build connections, foster leadership, and create change.
​
Our Mission
​
The Wisconsin Women of Color Network, through statewide collaboration, assists women of color in accessing educational resources, healthcare, social services and political participation to promote leadership, cross-cultural awareness, and the spiritual and economic well being enriching the lives of women of color, their families and their communities.
