I sit with the Author of "White Feminism", Koa Beck, and dive into the difference between feminism as a practice vs white feminism. Koa shows us the limitations of white feminist practice and shares lots of stories and examples from real women on how it has affected them negatively. With recent laws in place that goes against women, we talk about ways we can truly come together and leave the individualistic mindsets and fight for our everyone. As a black woman who has identified as a feminist for as long as I can remember, reading Koa's book shined light on why mainstream white feminist practices felt out of reach and never resonated with me.
