On this LIVE episode of DopeWomxn, Nadine and Kate share the stories of Ava DuVernay and Tarana Burke. DopeWomxn is committed to supporting and uplifting Black stories, and these 2 ah-may-zing Black womxn are seriously kicking butt and taking names. DuVernay is an award winning director and producer; Burke is the founder of the #MeToo movement and a trailblazer in advocacy for black/indigenous/women of color… and that’s literally just scratching the surface! Follow them on their social media platforms to stay updated on their upcoming work and projects. *TRIGGER WARNING* Sexual abuse and assault. 

PS Kate’s computer totally zoinked out so the audio may be a little different on this one.
