When they aren't teaching their lucky students at their various colleges, Niece is the co-host of the WFPL-FM radio show 'Strange Fruit', Dr. Blay was featured on the recent episode of the CNN series Black In America, and Dr. Cooper is one of the co-founders of the Crunk Feminist Collective.
They discussed the persistence of terrible images of Black women in Hip-Hop music and during the course of that discussion, Professors.Story, Blay and Cooper began a dialogue about the need for an updated anthology of Black Feminist Thought.
That what happens when you get three brilliant and accomplished African-descended women chatting about issues in our community.

I commented in the thread I hoped they would condemn the trans exclusionary radical feminists to that discussion. It is a Black feminist issue since predominately white TERF's have been pushing virulent anti-trans rhetoric for 40 years that I and other trans people believe fuels anti-trans discrimination, negativity toward our community and the anti-trans hate that leads to our murders. The people who have taken the brunt of those anti-trans murders have been Black and Latina trans women.
If it does happen, it was suggested by Dr. Story that I write that portion of it And if they do (or someone else) starts working on that updated anthology, should I get the invitation to write that essay, I most certainly will.
