Feminism and the Global South

Intersectional proletarianism, journalism, and leftism from a Master's graduate in Gender Studies, Nikita Ramkissoon. Raised in an anti-apartheid activist household, Nikita grew up with a love for human rights and good books. Being a survivor of childhood sexual assault, she developed bipolar disorder and wishes to debunk myths about mental illness and shed light on survivor issues through her writing. Some might call her a raging feminist ... and she is. Guided by bell hooks, Angela Davis, and other black feminists, Nikita wishes to uplift voices of women of colour in media spaces.
