Meta-Feminism

Episode 10: Notes

In this episode, we explore Meta-Feminism, examining femininity as a dynamic spectrum within the framework of meta-modernism. We navigate the intricate intersections of gender, identity, and societal constructs, centering the experiences of Black Women—those enduring and living a Black experience. Through these lenses, we challenge conventional and colonial narratives, exploring how a meta-modern perspective invites us to deconstruct feminine oppression while embracing fluidity, complexity, and inclusivity. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of redefining and reclaiming femininity beyond a Theopoetic, “Old Smelly Box.”
