Women of color feminism seeks to prioritize the voices of women of color. It links women’s inequality to white supremacy (Psychology of Women and Gender, 1.3). This was due to many feminist organizations prioritizing the concerns of white women while women of color were ignored. Another name, womanist, was coined by Alice Walker, a writer and activist. The term is utilized to encompass more forms of oppression. Many feminist movements focus on sexism; yet women of color feminism address racism and classism. Furthermore, the #MeToo movement found its origins in 2006 with sexual assault survivor Tarana Burke. The expansive movement was intended to be inclusive to all survivors. However, during its spiked popularity in 2016, white women remained a focus. Women of color feminism plays a massive role in a multitude of activism. Including environmental concerns, access to affordable housing, prison reform, reproductive justice, and much more. Yet, their contribution often gets pushed aside. White activist often become a sole focus of change; when in actuality, this issue would not see light if not for women of color. Feminism remains a goal of many around the world. But it cannot be achieved by silencing women of color and prioritizing white women.

The Black Feminist Fund seeks to build a world in which Black women and gender expansive people are supported. They grew frustrated when their voices and organization continued to be unrecognized. They seek to dismantle this system and prioritize their voices. Their is no feminism without the voices of all.
