The Internet, Art, and Feminism By Dahlia Eldaly

But, what I like most is when I fall upon creative, feminist, anti-oppression inspiration. Lately, I’ve come across a number of spoken word videos that show the power of art. Listen to Belissa Escobedo, Rhiannon McGavin, and Zariya […]

Why do you do what you do? By Hawa

So next time you decide to take on being African for a day (since truly that is my bone of contention today) remember that respecting and admiring a culture doesn’t mean appropriating its images, wearing its clothing or proclaiming your stellar African attributes.

Isn’t reverse racism fun? By Noush

Recognizing white privilege isn’t about blame, it isn’t about targeting whites as individuals, or even en mass. No one chooses their skin pigment or the socio-political consequences that come with it. It’s about the need for solidarity without “helping”.
