115 | Taking Our Power Back from Oppressive Systems with the Crunk Feminist Collective

Balanced Black Girl

In a world and time where we are constantly moving from one historical moment to the next, it can feel overwhelming to know where you can jump in and be a part of the movement for equality and justice for all. Looking through the perspective of how we can empower ourselves as a community rather than the individual reminds us that this isn't something we can do alone - but that we do together.

I had the honor of sitting down with Brittney Cooper, Susana M. Morris and Chanel Craft Tanner of the Crunk Feminist Collective. The three of them just released their new book, Feminist AF: A Guide to Crushing Girlhood, which helps girls and gender nonbinary young people of color find their voice. Tune in to feel validated, powerful, and able to take action in building a Feminist society that supports all of us.

WE ALSO TALK ABOUT…

• Feminism is a structural analysis.
• Self-care requires structures.
• Building a team for feminist care.
