Check out this reading list from our Zoom event, “Black Feminist Perspectives on COVID-19.”


On Tuesday, April 28th, Black Women Radicals hosted the Zoom event, “Black Feminist Perspectives on COVID-19.” If you missed the event on Zoom, you can watch it below or here on our YouTube channel.

The event focused on the following: The coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has completely transformed everything that we thought was “normal” in our lives. From social distancing to quarantining, to the ineffectiveness and ignorance of political leaders and governments, to loss, and more, COVID-19 has brought to the forefront critical issues that cross borders and boundaries. However, what are Black women’s perspectives on the pandemic that is COVID-19? Why is it imperative that we center Black women’s thoughts and opinions on and about the coronavirus? What can we learn from these perspectives, thoughts, feelings, and concerns about the pandemic that can help as we navigate through this and after it? 

Panelists for “Black Feminist Perspectives on COVID-19” included Nana Afua Yeboaa Brantuo, Stephanie Kimou, and Vilissa Thompson.

Below is the reading list from the event. We are thankful to Nana Afua Yeboaa Brantuo for creating this list!
