“Wanting to know more and in greater depth than is considered ‘good’ for one. Committed to survival and wholeness of entire people, male and female.”2 For me, the beauty of womanism is its holistic view of change. It centers the deep shared commitment Black women have to their family and community. Unlike white feminism, womanism holds space for race, class, and gender and understands the family and community of a Black woman are collaborators in the struggle for liberation. It seeks balance and flexibility.
