Women of Color Roar Breakfast - Sheroes Rise

Since its inception in 2018 the Women of Color Roar Breakfast has grown to be a do not miss event. Its mission - to celebrate African American elected officials and encourage young women of color to run for office and pursue careers in public service.

This year's event is virtual and takes place this Saturday, June 19 (Juneteenth) starting at 7:30AM.

The club has sponsored the event - we have 5 tickets to give away!

Club members can just email us at info@pointlomadem.org

• The first 5 members to respond will be emailed a ticket for the event

• Our sponsorship also provides for 5 Future Leader Students to attend!

• If you'd like to purchase a ticket, or sponsor a future student leader you can do so here

Women of Color Roar has sponsored over 300 high school and college age young women, “Future Leaders,” to attend as special guests. This unique event provided the young women with the opportunity to be surrounded by women in leadership and exposed them to great role models. The Women of Color Roar breakfast was a transformative experience for them. 

“Sheroes Rise” is a special presentation honoring BlWOC leaders; past, present and future. A virtual celebration has offered the opportunity to include women from all over the country and produce a dynamic multi-media extravaganza. 

San Diego Arab Film Festival - June 5-19

The San Diego Arab Film Festival is back for 2021 with a hybrid festival: live, in-person feature film showings at the Museum of Photographic Arts combined with an online offering of short films. 

The Festival program showcases 6 feature films and 15 short films from across the Arab World. The Festival is proud to present the first film from Sudan ever submitted to the Oscars, Oscar submitted films from Morocco and Lebanon, as well as a range of films from and about Palestine, Egypt, UAE, Qatar Iraq, France, USA, and UK that have been well received at international festivals around the world.

In-person screenings will follow the COVID protocols in place at the time, but we expect that those protocols will include wearing masks and limiting attendance to 50% of theater capacity.

More information is available here.
