Actress Rowan Blanchard shares her views on feminism and intersectionality

Rowan Blanchard is the thirteen-year-old actress playing Riley Matthews on Girl Meets World. Along with being a TV star, she apparently moonlights as a badass feminist. When asked about her views on how white feminism can be exclusive of women of color and queer and trans people, she responded beautifully. Check out her Instagram posts below. She absolutely nails it.
