nprbooks: This week on the Code Switch podcast, our pal Karen Grigsby Bates talks to Hood Feminism author Mikki Kendall on the book’s resonance in the age of COVID-19. Kendall says the virus is showing up feminism’s failings right now, … because the death toll and the infection rate for essential workers and their family members is extremely high — especially for people of color, especially black women and black families. That’s happening because we don’t have a system that took care of these folks in the first place. They’re having a harder time accessing medical care. They’re having a harder time accessing financial support. They’re least capable of weathering the layoffs and the cost of being sick. Find that conversation here. – Petra -- source link
