The Vagina Monologues!


Last night, I worked one of the tables at my school's production of The Vagina Monologues. It was a great production, and we raised a lot of money for a women's shelter in town. If you have the chance to see the show at some point or participate in other V-Day activities, please do so! Every little bit of awareness helps!

Still Brave: The Evolution of Black Women's Studies


This past November, I presented at and attended the NWSA Conference in Atlanta. While there, I purchased Still Brave: The Evolution of Black Women's Studies. This is one of the most powerful women's studies anthologies I've ever read! With works by Elsa Barkley Brown, Angela Davis, Paula Giddings, and Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Still Brave serves as a testament to the fact that feminist/womanist ideology is alive and well. If you are looking for a book that will captivate you and teach you as well, this is definitely a book worth purchasing!
