â¨Executive Alertâ¨
Hey everyone! đ My name is Victoria De Leon, I am the Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Woke Lit Womxnâđ˝ Iâm a proud Latinađ˛đ˝, a Colorado native, & Iâm a junior at the College of the Holy Cross majoring in Political Science & Spanish with a concentration in Latin American, Latinx, & Caribbean Studies. Iâm currently working at a communications & marketing company in Colorado as a youth advisor for a campaign that promotes connectedness between youth & adults!
I am so proud to have founded an organization that is rooted & centered in empowering & amplifying the voices of BIPOC womxn. Oftentimes we hear the phrase âa voice for the voicelessâ & Iâm here to tell you that thereâs no such thing as âvoiceless BIPOC womxnâ; rather there is a lack of accessibility to large platforms & for far too long our voices have gone unheard, ignored, & erased from history altogether. That is why weâve poured all of our energy into becoming a platform for BIPOC womxn to feel heard & have the conversations centered around US and OUR experiences. In just 5 months our digital community has reached hundreds of young BIPOC womxn across the worldâ that is what happens when we hand over the mic to BIPOC womxn.
I am so excited & hopeful for the future of Woke Lit Womxn. I am especially grateful to be working alongside a community of passionate, driven, talented, & diverse womxn who have empowered me & supported my mission. Stay tuned for new projects & launches. đ
Ladies, stay WOKE & LITđŚ

Hi everyone, Iâm Yilan and Iâm the current CFO/CTO for WLW! I just graduated from Harvard this year with a degree in Applied Math and Econ. Now, Iâm working at a tech company in Austin, Texas.
Iâm a Cancer, and in my free time I love cooking, going on walks with my Aussie puppy, and volunteering!
I joined Woke Lit Womxn in March because I wanted to find ways to elevate the voices of womxn that are historically silenced. I think it is so important for Asian Americans to stand in solidarity with the black community and do what we can to fight for justice, especially since the model minority myth often causes dissonance and rifts between BIPOC communities. I am so excited be moving forward on the Executive Board and continue working to tear down barriers and obstructions to equity for low income, underserved, and marginalized groups!
I hope that all of our wonderful followers and supporters join us in our fight against racial and socioeconomic injustices as we continue to grow as an organization!đ Yilan Yang
yes, weâre LIT but weâre also WOKE so here are some helpful tips as classes begin this week!â¨
as BIPOC students we are often left to feel like we are alone in our struggle through higher educationâ but we are not. we are all feeling very similar things and although our experiences and circumstances arenât the same we are still here for each other.
wishing everyone success and growth this semesterâđ˝ weâre rooting for yallđ

Hi my name is Andrea Macias, and I am a senior at the University of Denver. I am a History Major with minors in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies and Socio-Legal Studies.
I am a Sagittarius âď¸. I have two dogs: Tito and Bella. I am also a sister of a Multicultural sorority called Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority, Inc.

Today we begin the Pick Up Your Crown campaign by discussing the history of Black hair and cultural appropriation. This is a brief history of Black hair and is not exhaustive or complete. There is so much more to this issue than covered here, however, starting the conversation and addressing these issues is the first step to progress.
Black hair has been viewed as inferior, unruly and ugly for centuries, when in reality, Black hair is versatile and beautiful. It is important to recognize the anti-blackness ingrained into our society and how it affects the way Black people are able to express themselves through hair in a professional and social environment. Additionally, cultural appropriation is an issue that has been around for years and yet many people still fail to acknowledge cultural significance and history of the elements of certain cultures they partake in.
We are discussing the history of Black hair and cultural appropriation in an effort to educate and inform anyone willing to listen. Take a look and learn.
To all the Black womxn out there, celebrate your curls, kinks and coils and own your crown!â¨-Alison
