Roundtable Series#2, Session #2, “Misogynoir & The Culture”

‘Misogynoir’, coined by Black feminist Moya Bailey, refers to misogyny directed towards Black women where race and gender plays a role in bias. Let’s discuss the relationship between misogynoir and patriarchy . How does it present in popular culture, specifically hip-hop culture? How does it promote the denigration and/or erasure of Black women? Do you agree that we should divest from cultural spaces/institutions that promote misogynoir? What internalized misogynoir have you  had to unlearn to promote a healthier acceptance of yourself and other Black women?
