Intersectional Feminism
Intersectional Feminism- a movement recognizing that barriers to gender equality vary according to other aspects of a woman’s identity, including age, race, ethnicity, class, and religion, and striving to address a diverse spectrum of women’s issues. As it stands, white feminism fails to address these issues.
Breonna Taylor-#sayhername- Breonna was a 26 year old EMT from Louisville who was shot by police in her own home while sleeping. The officers in question had a warrant out, believing her residence to be a drug shipment location. There were no drugs found in her apartment, and over a year after her murder, she has yet to receive justice. Breonna has, unfortunately, become an emblem for the many murdered Black women whom the media fail to cover.

Black Girls Matter
- Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced, and Underprotected'Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced and Underprotected' is a campaign from The African American Policy Forum who has compiled data showing the propensity in which Black girls receive heavier punishments at higher rates than their white counterparts for the same offenses. Black youth, girls in particular, are victims of 'Adultification' which leads even young girls to be seen as adults (even sexualization) and their actions judged thusly. Expulsion from school, and harsher discipline is robbing Black girls from stability and a good standard of living; ultimately contributing to the School-To-Prison Pipeline.
