FM Dec 29: YEAR END WRAPUP / everything is intersectional

YEAR END WRAPUP on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen :
We’re sharing parts of some of our favorite interviews of 2021!  Talking about how the big issues we care about are intersectional.   And how our response, our work to make change, has to be intersectional too.

FIRST …  We celebrated the 40th anniversary of  This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color – a groundbreaking anthology that still explores “the complex confluence of identities—race, class, gender, and sexuality—systemic to women of color oppression and liberation.”  We were honored to be joined by co-editor Cherrie Moraga for an in-depth conversation, with guest co-host Wanda Alarcon.

THEN … How can we begin speaking to kids about structural racism? Cherise Charleswell talked to Kim Narain,  chair of the American Public Health Association’s Committee on Women’s Rights about her new book “The Cycle of a Dream: A Kid’s Introduction to Structural Racism in America” – a great resource for grade-schoolers (and everyone else!) to learn this history & what it means.

AND ...  How can we hear each other?  How can we practice mediation skills in ways that align with nature, with pleasure, with our best imagining of our future? Lynn Harris Ballen talked to author and visionary thinker adrienne maree brown about her recent book Holding Change: The Way of Emergent Strategy Facilitation and Mediation  – that centers Black feminists, with skills and wisdom for any of us working to create changes in our world.
