Two amazing pieces I must share with you - both from my friend, the journalist/activist/radical woman of color, Adele Nieves.
The first is a short clip of a documentary that follows the lives of battered women and their children living in underground shelters.
The second is a link to an interview of Adele by blogger, Madama Ambi. There is so MUCH listening to be done with this interview. It is imperative for white women who identify in any way with the feminist movement to listen to Adele explain the movement's marginalization of women of color. It begins with a personal - and breathtaking - piece titled, Why Do You Speak? I love it. I love Adele, and so will you after this interview.

Lara, I wish I were sitting with you right now singing Here Comes the Sun by that bouquet of yellow flowers!
Thank you for your amazingly kind words and know I love you too!
Adele
