I hope y’all are ready to learn this week, because we had a whoooole lot to say!
For this two-part conversation, I was joined by the lovely Andrea Vivas to discuss the importance of radical feminism and what that means to us as two passionate women of color. We also discuss what feeling empowered as a woman means for us individually and the power that comes from reclaiming our time & energy in a patriarchal society.
**Disclaimers**
1. We do NOT speak for all women. We speak for our individual experiences.
2. Understand that we are NOT generalizing anybody, nor is this conversation anti-men. We are two unapologetic women of color who’ve had enough of patriarchal bs, and we are rightfully speaking from experiences.
