“Movements are born of critical connections rather than critical mass.”

“One of the biggest issues with mainstream feminist writing has been the way the idea of what constitutes a feminist issue is framed. We rarely talk about basic needs as a feminist issue. Food insecurity and access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. Instead of a framework that focuses on helping women get basic needs met, all too often the focus is not on survival but on increasing privilege. For a movement that is meant to represent all women, it often centers on those who already have most of their needs met.”
― Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

“Scars mean we survived something, even when the wounds still hurt.”
