During this 2 hour embodied masterclass we will unpack:

🌺 Embracing Intersectionality: bell hooks' teachings remind us that feminism cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. Just as Black liberation recognizes the unique struggles and experiences of Black individuals, embracing intersectionality is key to dismantling the narrow confines of white feminism. Join us in unpacking the intersections of race, gender, and class, and how they intertwine with Barbie's cultural influence.

📚 Unmasking the Barbie Mythos: Delve into hooks' critical analysis of mainstream culture and its influence on shaping notions of beauty, success, and identity. Together, we'll examine Barbie's evolution over the years and dissect how her image has perpetuated certain ideals, often at the expense of marginalized voices. It's time to peel back the layers and confront the realities hidden beneath the plastic.

🌍 From Barbie to Global Empowerment: Explore hooks' call to action for a feminism that transcends borders and uplifts women of all backgrounds. We'll connect hooks' vision of solidarity and inclusion with the work that remains to be done in the fight for true gender equality. Discover how we can draw inspiration from Barbie's transformation and contribute to a more just and equitable world.
