Womanism

"Womanism and womanist scholarship has to keep evolving and rejecting any form of oppression anywhere it appears. Anywhere. In the same way we want “mainstream feminism” accountable so must we be accountable too. This is one of the reasons why I think that Black trans women and Black LGBQIA people and their conceptions of feminism has to be centered in womanism. If they can be free, all Black women can be free.

If All Black women and all Black people can be free, all people can be free.

The most marginalized have to be centered not excluded."
