Power Generations – Busting Myths, Embracing Collective Power
About the Episode
Going into the Presidential Election Black women are generally a united front. But are there divides that separate Boomers from Millennials?
“I think that we’re not so much divided as disconnected. I don’t think we talk so much cross generationally as we should.”
“I think there is an age divide certainly, but fundamentally in terms of values and our commitments as Black women to our communities, there’s not as much of a divide as is often portrayed.”
“We all have stories that we can weave together, and when we are sharing space with baby boomers or elders, or even young folks who are organizing in the streets, it becomes so important to share those stories.”
“It’s an uphill battle for a lot of the young women out here, because we’re in a society that devalues Black women’s leadership, period.”
“The young people deserve to have a seat at the table and they will bring their seat if they need to.”
