Alice Walker, a poet and activist coined the term “Womanist” in 1983. “Womanish, the opposite of girlish…Being grown up…A Black Feminist or Feminist of Color…A woman who loves other women, sexually and/or non-sexually. Appreciates and prefers women’s culture, women’s emotional flexibility (values tears as natural counterbalance of laughter), and women’s strength. Sometimes loves individual men, sexually and/or non-sexually”. .

I’m excited to share with you my “Womanist” project these next several days. ✨

Thank you to all the incredible women that helped me make this happen!
