Today’s #WCW is the intelligent and respected, Dr. Brittney Cooper. As a fan I have been completely inspired by all of @professor_crunk research and insights. In particular, how she breaks down the experience of a black feminist in her book “Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower.” Her body of work is massively impressive, but more recently in her newest book “Stand Up! 10 Mighty Women Who Made a Change” she was able to tell stories from historic female figures who have changed the world for standing up for what is right, and I love it so much because it’s illustrated and written so beautifully enough for me to show and read to Kaavia. It’s so important to me to show my daughter how these women like Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges to name a few, literally changed history and made our world a better place. While there is much more work to be done, I must commend Dr. Cooper for reminding black women everywhere how much power we hold and continue to. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!
