Indigenous and Women of Color Rise: Dominique Christina and Cherry Smiley

On March 8th, 2019 (International Women's Day), we held an event featuring two powerful voices: Dominique Christina, the author of four books and a multiple world champion in slam poetry, and Cherry Smiley, warrior hero, feminist activist, scholar, and artist from the Nlaka'pamux (Thompson) and Diné (Navajo) nations. They discuss slavery, colonization, sexual exploitation, and resistance in this incredible recording.

As our world burns, injustice festers around the globe. Patriarchy, racism, and capitalism are bringing us to ruin. In the face of this brutality, we need to elevate voices from the grassroots. And not just any voices. We need radical voices that take no prisoners, that speak the truth, that rip down the fantasies of the powerful and inspire us to fight like our lives depend on it.

This event was organized by Asian Women for Equality and Fertile Ground Institute for Social and Environmental Justice.
