"Fe Fe" is slang for "female.”
Beginning January 2010, the Empowered Fe Fes are moving to Monday evenings. They will meet bi monthly on Mondays from 3:00 pm until 5:00 pm. and discuss issues like being disabled and a girl, dating, job hunting, sexuality, family conflict, getting an apartment, independence, power, our rights and making our communities better.
You should join the Fe Fes if you want to:
- meet new people
- learn useful skills
- find useful resources
- get more confident about speaking your mind!
The Fe Fes does lots of interesting projects. For example, in collaboration with Beyondmedia Education, the girls have created three award-winning films:
- Beyond Disability: The Fe Fe Stories
- Why They Gotta Do Me Like That?: The Fe Fes Take On Bullying
- Doin' It: Sex, Disability and Videotape
