Celebrating Women’s History Month
This month, I plan to continue public engagement with antiquity. I created a “Greek + Roman Mythological Women” filter for Women’s History Month that spits a random answer.
The filter is currently only available on Tiktok, but I hope to upload it to Instagram by the end of the week.
I’d encourage you to support several organizations celebrating Women’s History Month this year.

Further context
I just began creating filters for public engagement. Last month, during Black History Month, Classics Twitter saw directed attacks on Black scholars regarding Princeton’s Classics degree language requirements.
There are many ways to support Black classicists.
To name a few:
- Donate to Sportula
- Donate to Black Trowel Collective
- Donate to Mountaintop Coalition
- or reading articles on Notes from the Apotheke
- Eos
Many assertions were unaware of the Black intellectual tradition of engaging with Classics.
So, to celebrate Black History Month and the long-standing tradition of Black classical thought, I created a TikTok filter based on the Black Classicists exhibit by Dr. Michele Ronnick. You can find out more about the filter on my page.
The filter can be used in various ways, especially in the classroom (if you have experience teaching with social media.)
