Feminist Enough is an intersectional video + image storytelling project that seeks to show the world real faces of feminism, reimagine feminism for women of color worldwide and inspire a new generation of smart, whole, fiercely feminist girls. The purpose of this project make space for women to advocate for their own view of feminism and create their own feminist narrative. And we also have hella fun while doing it.

Recently while speaking on a panel discussion at The Brooklyn Museum, I mentioned that “nothing brings me joy than a good selfie.” Seeing Blakc and brown women who are #FeministEnough to live their lives on their terms and celebrate their moment only adds to the shifting narrative of what it means to be a fly, feminist woman today.
So what’s next for #FeministEnough? YOUR VOICE, YOUR SELF!
Using Instagram or Twitter, create your own 15sec #FeminstEnough video AND/OR post a selfie of your choice with your #FeministEnough statement in the description, hash tagged with #FeministEnough so we can grab it. Your post will get reposted on the Feminist Enough Instagram feed, Tumblr and also be included in our next set of videos, set to launch in January 2015! Add your voice to the project today and claim what’s your FEMINIST ENOUGH to inspire other women!
Let’s get it!

“Nothing brings me more joy than a good selfie…”
ICYMI! Recently I recently had the pleasure of talking all things Black feminism, body politics and more at The Brooklyn Museum. It was an honor to represent the #FeministEnough project and join fellow phenomenal women like Reverend Desiree Allen, Charlotte Braithwaite, Karma Mayet Johnson and our moderator Toni Blackmon. Big thanks to Rasu and MAPP International!

Earlier this year I met what Tumblr told me was the Carefree Black Girl. A natural creative, she’s the grand daughter of the Bettie Davis and Sonia Sanchezes. The post-Lisa Bonet and all them girls in Love Jones but smarter with better poetry, less inhibitions and a sick social media…

Show Description:
When Shannon Washington invited women of color to speak their truths about feminism, she set off a controversy that has gone viral. Her blog and video series challenges popular and mainstream views of what feminism is and what a feminist should look like. And she features women delivering their own personal manifestos.
From that point of departure, our in studio guests Felicia Montes and Caroline Heldman are taking off.
Felicia ‘Fe’ Montes is a Xicana Indigenous artist, activist, academic, community & event organizer, educator, femcee, designer, poet, and performer living and working in the Los Angeles area. An established Xicana cultural worker of a new generation, she has worked on various transnational art and organizing efforts from Chiapas to LA. Fe is the co-founder and coordinating member of Mujeres de Maiz, In Lak Ech and Urban Xic.
Dr. Caroline Heldman is an Assistant Professor of Politics at Occidental College in Los Angeles. She specializes in the presidency, race, and gender. She’s a commentator for Fox News and Al Jazeera and co-edited “Rethinking Madame President: Are We Ready for a Woman in the White House?” Caroline is also a Totalitarian liberal. Radical feminist. Author. Metal head. Martial artist. Political scientist. Talking head.
