Higher Heights #BlackWomenLead Author Talkback with Feminista Jones

This edition of the Higher Heights #BlackWomenLead Author Talkback is with social worker, activist, and cultural commentator Feminista Jones as we discussed her book, Reclaiming Our Space, How Black Feminists Are Changing the World From the Tweets to the Streets. We discussed how Black women are changing culture, society, and the landscape of feminism by building digital communities and using social media as powerful platforms. Jones revealed, some of the best-loved devices of our shared social media language are a result of Black women’s innovations, from well-known movement-building hashtags (#BlackLivesMatter, #SayHerName, and #BlackGirlMagic) to the now ubiquitous use of threaded tweets as a marketing and storytelling tool.
