This week on Feminist Magazine with hosts Lynn Harris Ballen & Kiyana Williams :: FIRST … The 2nd United State of Women Summit recently took place in LA at the Shrine Auditorium. The first summit – created in 2016 in Washington DC when Michelle Obama was still our First Lady – was organized through the White House Council on Women and Girls. Like that inaugural gathering two years ago, this aimed to bring together organizations and advocates focused on issues affecting women and girls. The line-up included panel discussions, and speakers including Dolores Huerta, #MeToo Movement founder Tarana Burke, actor/activist Jane Fonda and Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, and Michelle Obama herself.
This time around they were organizing the summit in a whole different political climate under a completely different administration. Did that make a difference? And how did the summit connect to LA? Sarah Brock Chavez & Lynn Harris Ballen went to the summit and they report back with clips from favorite speakers, what they thought worked and what they hoped for from this gathering of almost 5,000 feminists.
… AND … Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle is an interdisciplinary visual artist, writer, and performer, whose artwork and experimental writing has been exhibited and performed nationwide. Kenyatta talks with Kiyana Williams about how her artwork is shining a light on the historical and cultural erasure of women in various sectors of society, and how she is changing the landscape of what it means to be an artist and a mother. Kenyatta’s latest artwork will be featured on KCET’s ninth season of Artbound, called Artist and Mother, which airs tonight at 9 p.m. PT.
All this on Tuesday at 2, on KPFK. What Feminism Can Sound Like.
Produced by: Lynn Harris Ballen.
