    The Squad: A Not-So-Accidental Political Sensation

    Welcome back to The Ways She Moves: a podcast focused on discussing female-led political movements. This episode we covered "The Squad." Who are they? How did they become so infamous? What effects have they had, both as individuals and as a collective unofficial movement, on the political, social, and cultural realms of American society? Honestly, this episode was a blast, and I enjoyed making it. Enjoy! Sources from this Episode: Frances M. Beale, Double Jeopardy: To Be Black and Female, 1969. Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism, 2020.

    Black Lives Matter: It All Started with Facebook

    Hello! And welcome to the very first episode of The Ways She Moves. A podcast focused on discussing female-led political movements and their impact on our country's political climate.  This episode, we cover the Black Lives Matter movement and its monumental success since its inception in 2013. We discuss how it started all because of three black women on Facebook, how the movement has taken off on social media and how social media has helped Black Lives Matter, and I share some audio clips with you as I journeyed to a local Black Lives Matter vigil near me and spoke to some folks there.* Enjoy!
