We’re back, and this time we’re chatting with academic, activist, and artist Lucia Lorenzi about her love for Moana and Maleficent, Twitter as a platform for feminist activism, and why sometimes it’s okay to not be okay. Here’s some conversation-adjacent reading:

• A few thoughts on Why We Need a Female Doctor in Doctor Who 
• Some articles from teen-led feminist magazine Affinity about Why Moana Is Important and What It Missed
• A fantastic article/podcast about Self Care As Political Warfare — especially for Black women

Welcome to Secret Feminist Agenda! Every week* I’ll be interviewing a feminist about how they undermine the cisnormative heteronormative ableist imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy in their own lives. Mostly I just want to talk to amazing humans about how they enact resistance in both large and small ways. Get ready for laughter and tears and extensive profanity.

So tell me: what’s your secret feminist agenda?
