Thank you to everyone who came out and made Femissance such an amazing event!! Hearing how all of you use your jewelry as armor, whether that be emotional support or drawing on the strength of your loved ones who gave you your beloved pieces, and seeing your artistic interpretations was an amazing way to spend our afternoon :)

Hello everyone! Just another reminder that Femissance is coming up this Friday from 5-8! We will be highlighting feminist art pieces that fit with our theme “Jewelry as Armor” and celebrate our pillars (gender equity, anti-racism, reproductive justice, and LGBTQ+ inclusivity)! This will be an outdoor, potluck style event so plan appropriately 💗

For our 7th and final Black History Month post, we’re highlighting Miss Major Griffin-Gracy aka Miss Major. She is a transgender activist and a veteran of the Stonewall Riots. Much of her activism is rooted in her own experiences as she works to uplift other trans women of color, particularly those who have been incarcerated or have experienced police brutality. She now runs House of GG, a retreat center for trans and gender non-conforming leaders in the Southern US. Thank you all for your support!

For our 5th Black History Month post, we’re highlighting the amazing Alexis Pauline Gumbs! She is an incredible poet, feminist, and community builder from the Southern USA. In her book, “The M Archive", she looks at society's collapse due to capitalism, greed, and climate change. In response to these situations that cause the collapse of a planet, Gumbs discusses the ways that society can rebuild itself- through love, community, and the embracing of blackness and the "dark feminine". Her website is https://www.alexispauline.com if you want to learn more about her :)

For our 4th Black History Month post, we’re honoring Janet Mock. She is a Black, trans activist who, after being a first-generation college student, has authored two memoirs, is a writer and director for the TV show Pose and has been a magazine editor and journalist for major publications. Throughout her personal life and professional career, Mock has and continues to advocate for the protection, rights, and celebration of trans women and trans folks everywhere.

For our 3rd Black History Month post, we’re honoring and remembering Maya Angelou, who was an American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. She received dozens of awards and more than 50 honorary degrees.

Our second Black History Month post highlights and remembers bell hooks, who was an author, activist, and academic. Most of her work highlighted the intersections of race, gender, class and capitalism, and how these created and perpetuated oppressive systems. The majority of her work focused on feminism and the system of patriarchy, particularly how Black women operate within it. Her work was and still is regarded as some of the most important and revolutionary pieces of political theory. She recently passed away at the age of 69 on December 15, 2021.
