NOTE. Please be aware that the sound quality is a little shaky but accessible.  Enjoy the conversation.

Dr. Wendi is in conversation with Dr. Margo Okazawa-Rey, scholar, activist, dancer, DJ, and overall phenomenal human and lover of life. Young at heart, our ongoing joke is that though she is retired and contributed to the Combahee River Collective Statement published the year I was born, she is the little sister.

Margo and her sistren blazed a trail for me and other Black women to live within an expansive definition of feminism that can hold our whole Black womanhood at the intersection of race, gender, class, sexuality, and across transnational boundaries.

In this interview, Margo and I crack jokes and speak truths about what real solidarity between and among Black women looks like and why a transnational perspective is essential to advancing a vision for liberation.

Learn more about Margo on her Wikipedia page (she has one) and her co-authored book, Gendered Lives: Intersectional PerspectivesFollow her public conversation on Twitter @okazawarey.
