Welcome back to Kinda Radical! To welcome in the Spring, enjoy a solo episode to dissect six strands of feminism:
-Liberal feminism
-Radical feminism
-Intersectional feminism
-Socialist feminism
-Black feminism
-Ecofeminism
I share some history, the main goals, leading thinkers, and common criticisms of each strand. I hope this episode helps you identify what type of feminist you are, and broadens your perspectives on what being a feminist can mean 🌸

On this special episode release of Kinda Radical, I'm talking all things braiding. We start with a wide history of braiding that takes us through time and around the globe. We move into specific cultural examples of how braiding can mean more than just a hairstyle; it carries messages, ties you to your ancestors, and demonstrates your heritage and culture. Finally, I explain how braiding is, and will continue to be, political.

In 2003 Professor Zeller wrote an article titled We're The Other Catholic Church, Feminism in a Radical Catholic Renewal Community.

Welcome to a special and long overdue episode of KR! Today, we're talking the basics. Join me and only me to define patriarchy, chat about how we see it in our daily lives, and how it harms pretty much everyone. Then we define matriarchy, give examples of matriarchal societies around the world, and argue what changes we would see in a matriarchal world vs a patriarchal one. This episode is factual, philosophical, and just kind of radical.
