What does it mean to be a Black feminist today—and how does that shape conversations around reproductive justice? In this episode, we center hood feminism through a discussion on abortion rights, bodily autonomy, and the lived realities of Black women. Joined by Assistant Director of the House Sydney Feeney and Professor Alana Edmondson, a doctoral candidate in English at Yale whose work explores race and performance, we examine how mainstream feminist movements have often excluded the voices and needs of marginalized communities.To learn more about the House, visit afam.yale.edu.
