18 Oct 2009Radical women media activist don’t do what they do for the props, that’s for sure. Pero it’s always nice when they get some and it’s always nice when the peeps getting props are close to my heart. Utne Reader has done it again, releasing their annual 50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World list. I am happy to see the name of Alexis Pauline Gumbs aka just Lex, for her work on the Mobile Homecoming Project and the million and one other projects she always seems to be working on.
Felicidades.

21 Oct 2008UTNE Reader released a list of 50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World and VivirLatino is proud that some dear amigas of ours are included.
brownfemipower, whom I consider an hermana on the blogosphere:
brownfemipower, whose inimitable blog is the anchor of the pulsing women-of-color blogosphere, began posting three years ago. She writes emotionally and radiantly about gender violence, immigration raids, public housing demolition in New Orleans, sexuality (a recent post on this topic included a video of Aerosmith’s “Crying”), and other “out of bounds” issues, morphing feminism back into a force for social change—for everyone—rather than an “exclusive networking club.”“Feminists can’t seem to figure out why their movement isn’t growing,” she wrote in June. “Could the fact that feminism uses universities as its major site of recruitment rather than jails, halfway houses, day care centers, churches, restaurants, the streets, mommy blog communities . . . have something to do with it?”
Felicidades mujer!
Other amigas and people who should be amigas after the jump…
