More specifically, how did digital sources challenge the way you thought of or
experienced the march or helped transform your experience of the march?

5. Theories Guiding our Work

6. Black Feminism As Social Justice Project (Patricia Hill Collins)
If Black feminism were reaching a broad constituency of African American women,
one would assume that African American girls, the next generation of Black
feminist intellectual leaders, would know about it and value its contributions tions
to bettering their lives. Yet African American women and girls, the population
on whose behalf Black feminism emerged and whose lives were supposed
to be changed by this work, typically remain remarkably unaware of Black
feminism. Moreover, if they have even heard of Black feminism, they reject it. In
this context, I have become increasingly concerned about who exactly gets
to develop Black feminist ideas as well as who has access to those ideas.

7. Hip Hop Feminism
“A cultural, intellectual, and political
movement grounded in the situated
knowledge of women of color from the
post–civil rights or hip-hop generation who
recognize culture as a pivotal site for
political intervention to challenge, resist,
and mobilize collectives to dismantle
systems of exploitation” (Aisha Durham,
Joan Morgan and Patricia Hill Collins)
Hip Hop Feminism is interested in practicing
public pedagogy
Social media makes this easier

16. Stations
Participants will travel from station to station (not getting to all of them), and will
remain at each for about 4 minutes: station 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 1. Write your ideas
legibly on the butcher paper so we can share them at the end of the rotation.
Station 1: How can pop culture contribute to continued self exploration and
awareness?
Station 2: What was your introduction to feminism?
Station 3: How can you implement social media in your work or class?
Station 4: What are some examples of progressive feminist social media?
