About this Episode
This episode gives voice to opening up and coming to terms with identities (and non-identities) that paint the rich mosaic of the Black woman’s realities in the long and continued march to democratic inclusion. Unfettered dialogues with trans, queer and hetero Black women give heat and light to the quest for a landing space on common ground that declares Ain’t I A Woman.

“We live in a world where gender is just easily pulled apart and picked with. Throughout the history of this country, Black women have not ever been able to be women.”

“My blacknesss, and my feminist and lesbian queer identities, they’re all intertwined. I do not separate them. They are one.”
