"The neutralizing and cloaking of power & hierarchy is a familiar story, yet for a variety of reasons we will discuss, the dangers of its embedding in new, unregulated technologies presents a threat of rolling back hard fought gains." - @sandylocks#HerDreamDeferred

.@sandylocks begins by remembering Black women athletes "who we may never see pictured with their fists held high on the Olympic podiums, but who nevertheless risked death threats, bodily harm, & loss of income by choosing to speak out against the challenges facing Black people."
.@Layshiac plays for the @nyliberty, is a member of the WNBA’s Social Justice Council, and was the first VP of the Players Association. They have been a leading advocate for LGBTQ+ athletes, and led initiatives to support the #SayHerName Campaign. #HerDreamDeferred
AAPF Executive Director Kimberlé Crenshaw introducing this week:
“AAPF has convened #HerDreamDeferred to amplify the voices and stories of Black women and girls, and to disrupt dominant and stereotypical narratives around Black women and our wellbeing.”
“Black women's experiences throughout the healthcare system reveal multiple sites of intersectional vulnerability. These sites tell us that absent urgent treatment, they will continue to leave Black women with disparate & negative health outcomes.” - @sandylocks#HerDreamDeferred
Her Dream Deferred: A Week on the Status of Black Women.
Every day this week, an event that uncovers, uplifts, & inspires, countering the marginalization of Black women, girls, & femmes within racial & gender justice discourses. All registration links at aapf.org/events.
Monday at 8 ET/5 PT: “When Misogynoir is a Pre-existing Condition: Black women's health through the twin pandemics."
