Undefeated: Poetic Floetry Arises from the Voices of Empowered Women

By Christine Joy Ferrer

The Oakland Sister Council, released Zine #2, Undefeated, earlier this year. These beautiful, empowered ladies are organizers, cultural workers and youth workers in Oakland. They came together around a series of incidents and harms within their community that were founded in misogyny and patriarchal practices and organized monthly sister circles where women within their community could connect with one another, build stronger sisterhood to prevent isolation and division, strategize to end patriarchy in our lives and in the future of our daughters and grand-daughters, and collaborate on creative action. This Zine resulted as a tool for them to express their stories, find healing, and raise awareness.
