Black History Month 2024 recap

Written By Feminist

This February, FEMINIST celebrated Black History Month (BHM) with amazing conversations, spotlights, and #HerStory moments to shine a light on Black resilience, joy, innovation, and excellence.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

  • Katy Ho, Writer at FEMINIST, spearheaded the 2024 Black History Month #Herstory Series, featuring 10 incredible Black women (see below) and a special collaboration with artist, Devon Blow!

  • FEMINIST celebrated and commemorated Black Women’s History Week, created by Feminista Jones, to highlight the accomplishments of Black women. The event was held between February for Black History Month and March for Women's History Month.

  • At the convergence of New York Fashion Week and Black History Month, FEMINIST teamed up with Rosa Rebellion to celebrate Black herstory in the heart of Dumbo, Brooklyn at Hudson Wilder. This salon-style affair showcased a dynamic panel discussion featuring leaders from beauty, fashion, academia, and activism: Paola Mathe, Elle Moxley, Julee Wilson and Kimberly Jenkins. The community celebrated the effects Black women have had and continue to have on style through generations, uplifting Black joy.

  • FEMINIST amplified and supported initiatives including but not limited to:

    • Row House Publishing, a Black and women-owned disruptive publishing company offering a radically transparent and equitable model to publish books honoring and authored by marginalized people

    • The CROWN (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) Act, a law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination, which is the denial of employment and educational opportunities because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including braids, locs, twists or bantu knots.
