All the Black Girls Are Activists: A Fourth Wave Womanist Pursuit of Dreams as Radical Resistance by EbonyJanice Moore
informative
inspiring
medium-paced
4.5
Notes taken during the read:
"we are being known for our resistance and not for our living."
"we shouldn't have to create our own everything in order to experience equity."
Black women are often not allowed to be soft and are instead forced to be strongblackwoman even to their own detriment. however, there can be strength in being soft. "Our softness does not negate our strength whatsoever."
"surrendering shame is revolutionary"
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare."
"the fact of the matter is, some folk don't hear you until you cuss."
Thoughts on the supremacist and patriarchal view that the only studying and knowlege that "counts" are those that happen within the walls of a classroom or space that white patriarchy deems credible. This discounts all the time, energy, labor that women have historically put in outside of the classroom sharing knowledge, having discussions, and creating their own knowledge.
Citation is political. cite the source and cite the spark. (basic practice in being a good ally)
do not undervalue their contribution to your knowledge.
