Ghost of Karens Past: White Feminism & How To Be A Better Ally


Listen Later

The joke of "being a Karen" feels like a recent meme, but the idea behind it is as old as feminism has been a movement, and our very own amazing Karen is here to talk to you about it. She's going to address being a white woman named Karen, but really, she's going to talk about white feminists and the origins of the movement, the not so intersectional nature of it, and how people without melanin historically have been Karens toward the POC community. Finally, Karen and M talk about using white privelege to boost black creators and be an ally.
