   Hood Feminism with Prof. Alana Edmonson

   What does it mean to be a Black feminist today—and how does that shape conversations around reproductive justice? In this episode, we center hood feminism through a discussion on abortion rights, bodily autonomy, and the lived realities of Black women. Joined by Assistant Director of the House Sydney Feeney and Professor Alana Edmondson, a doctoral candidate in English at Yale whose work explores race and performance, we examine how mainstream feminist movements have often excluded the voices and needs of marginalized communities.
