On this episode, I chat to the highly intelligent and super inspiring Mikki Kendall. We talk about her book, Hood Feminism, which calls for an intersectional approach to feminism, understanding that until we address fundamental issues affecting black women, we will never have a true, thriving feminist movement.

I loved this conversation, touching base on so many important issues including poverty, race, class, access to healthcare and so much more.

Mikki Kendall is a writer, diversity consultant, and occasional feminist; she has appeared on the BBC, NPR, The Daily Show, PBS, Good Morning America, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, WBEZ, and Showtime, and discusses race, feminism, police violence, tech, and pop culture at institutions and universities across the country. She is the author of the New York Times-bestselling HOOD FEMINISM (recipient of the Chicago Review of Books Award and named a best book of the year by BBC, Bustle, and TIME). She is also the author of AMAZONS, ABOLITIONISTS, AND ACTIVISTS, a graphic novel illustrated by A. D’Amico. Her essays can be found at TIME, the New York Times, The Guardian, the Washington Post, Essence, Vogue, The Boston Globe, NBC, and a host of other sites.
