    I really enjoyed watching Feminisms Now by Harvard on YouTube. It brought up so many different views on gender equality and made me realize how complex and diverse feminism really is today. The speakers were super inspiring—especially the way they connect art, activism, and social justice. Honestly, it made me think deeper about my own role in supporting equality. Definitely worth watching if you’re into social issues or just want to learn something new outside class.

    I really was awakened in my thinking and as a result, I am intrigued and even more curious about how to armor myself with more feminist qualities, education and now I have even more questions… which I find a positive side effect. I will continue onwards towards my education of how to unravel my own toxic-patriarchal belief systems and challenge my own racism, sexism and misogynistic beliefs.
