Black women are under attack. Black women are brutalized by our intimate partners, our family members, and a criminal justice system that routinely, systematically fails us in every way possible. How can understanding misogynoir help us navigate—and solve—the rising crisis of Black femicide in America? And what exactly is misogynoir anyway?

It’s no secret that mainstream feminism has empowered women with a TON of wins—Title IX, abortion access, workplace protections against sexual harassment, and more. But even with these wins, mainstream feminism still has quite a few losses, namely the silencing of Black women’s voices. What is womanism, exactly? How does it differ from feminism? And how can feminism and womanism work hand in hand to achieve liberation for all women?

Americans are unfortunately dealing with two types of ICE this year: the ice on our roads during this chilly polar vortex, and ICE (forcefully and unlawfully) in our streets, our homes, and our lives.

Is there a connection between the lethal force ICE utilizes against innocent people and the lethal force that the State weaponizes against women’s sexual autonomy? You bet your ass there is!

In this episode, we will explore the intersection between State-sanctioned violence against women and interpersonal violence against women. How do the two relate? And what does this connection mean for the future of American women’s sexual and reproductive agency—and safety?

The re-emergence of conservatism can be seen in almost every facet of American society, especially in women’s movements. Today, we discuss the ways this re-emergence manifests in women who generally fall into one of 2 categories: patriarchy princesses (think TradWives), and delulu dummies (your bestie who won’t break up with her no-good toxic boyfriend). How do these groups of women influence public policy? And what does this conservative rise say about the future of women’s liberation? “Alexandra UNFILTERED” now airs every other Monday at 8pm Eastern! 💋✨⚡️

Riddle me this: Americans are more college-educated today than they have ever been at any time in our history. So why are college-educated Americans leaning “right” (politically) rather than “left”? How do we explain the phenomenon of college-educated individuals voting for someone like Donald Trump? And how can Americans overcome the growing divide between “regular” folks and the emerging social caste of the growing “consultant class”? Be sure to listen to “part 1” of this episode as well!

When does the spiritual become exploitative? In this episode, I explore what happens when faith-based leaders in the (Christian) church abuse their power by harming the very same parishioners they claim to love—people whom they’re charged with spirituality, and physically protecting.
