About Unpacking My Privilege
From the publisher's feed
Unpacking My Privilege is a resource for intersectional feminists who want to change the world. Each week, Shanell Peterson (she/her) works to unlearn her privilege by listening to activists and…
educators who hold marginalized identities. We also amplify entrepreneurs, artists, and creators who are doing amazing things in a segment called "Hypegirl!" With a little nod to Peggy McIntosh (who's most known for her writings on white and male privilege) and a heavy focus on Kimberlé Crenshaw's concept of intersectionality (which was made by and for Black women) we can make a major difference on this planet together!
