Refueling with Feminists of Color

Abstract
March is Women's History Month. This year we celebrated International Women's Day through "A Day Without a Woman" and #WomenStrike. Against this backdrop of marches and strikes, I’d like to invite you to make explicit the commitment to racial justice as a commitment to all women. As a white woman committed to racial justice, I see March as a time to center and connect with the voices, intellectual contributions, and leadership of women of color. This means looking to and learning from the writing, art, and activism that feminists and womanists of color share in the world. It means getting fired up with visions of the “ought to be.” It means exploring white racial privilege/power and imagining different ways of seeing, being, and doing. With these goals in mind, I’d like to suggest three (of many!) ways we can learn from feminists and womanists of color.
