Episode Notes
We’ve now seen where the framework of Black Feminism has come from, but where is it headed? In this episode, Crystal and Krystal talk about how Black feminist thinkers, practitioners, and organizers understand the present and future of Black feminism. In discussion with guests Paris Hatcher, Barbara Smith, Dr. Brittney Cooper, Raquel Willis, Dr. Duchess Harris, Charlene Carruthers, Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs, and Feminista Jones, we review what topics are of concern to Black feminists today and how Black women may organize for change going forward.
