In an editorial for nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpq5a7t4f5w8kdapc0ceslkd643eax72246rkzpaezhqjmmj5uqpamqkcq8xl (nprofile…q8xl), Kiden-Aloyse Smith discusses “Hood Feminism” by Mikki Kendall, and why its messaging around race and intersectionality is particularly resonant right now. “Despite Black folks making up 14% of the U.S. population, we make up 40% of missing-person cases for people under age 18,” she writes. “Black women’s and children’s cases are left untouched for decades — marked as runaways, marked as unworthy, marked as the ‘imperfect victim.’ When little Black girls go missing, it’s a deafening silence with a reminder that maybe if we were ‘good’ girls or white girls, we’d be found.”
