Future Black History Month: Roxane Gay Is Mending Feminist Fractures
Fuse is once again celebrating an extended Black History Month by highlighting a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Black History before our very eyes. Today we are honoring Roxane Gay, who is embracing all aspects of her feminism—both good and bad. The novelist, Purdue University English professor and editor is sharing her perspective on what it means to be a human in this new generation.
The writer and Ohama, Neb. native captured major attention with her 2014 collection of essays, Bad Feminist, which explores Gay's journey through womanhood and shines a vulnerable light on all the mistakes she's made along the way. Her bravery is commendable, as she has never been afraid to call herself and others out on their actions when it comes to being a feminist.
