Feministing Jamz: Notable women of Afropunk Fest 2015

We love the AfroPunk Fest at Feministing, both for booking talented queer and feminist performers and for putting their no hatefulness message all over the internet and the grounds of the festival. This year included a number of excellent women performers, from the legendary to the on-the-come-up. Check out the notable women of this year’s Afropunk fest!

Afropunk fashions: bodies as resistance

Feministing Jamz: The Afropunk Festival is doing it right

The Afropunk Festival is hands-down one of my favorite things about summer in New York City.
