The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines "feminism" as the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. What's controversial about this concept?
For many Black women, the concept of feminism is complex. There's a discomfort that comes with aligning with a concept that traditionally only amplifies, humanizes, and supports the voices of white women.
Does feminism hold space for Black women? Is it our place to demand the stage, or better yet, build our own?
define&empower founder, Amanda Bennett joins us on the new SheConfidential podcast episode to explore these questions and others related to Black feminism.
Amanda is a Black feminist educator, consultant, poet, and PhD candidate in Literature at Duke University. Amanda used her academic knowledge of Black feminism, LGBTQ studies, and cultural studies as the foundation for define&empower, a Black feminist education and consulting collective.
