How do historical and on-going policies and practices that discriminate against African Americans lead to present-day inequality in United States? Download this free report from Harvard Business School to learn about topics including slavery, segregation, Jim Crow laws, "black codes," and policies and practices relating to criminal justice, housing, and education.

A great online course on Artificial Intelligence from the very basics of what AI is, to the more technical  algorithms that make creating AI methods possible. 

Chloe Zhao, director of Nomadland, became the first female China-born person to win the Golden Globes for best director and best picture! Watch a fascinating NYTimes anatomy of a scene with Chloe Zhao where she narrates a scene from the film, discussing her work to make these moments feel improvised, even though they were written and carefully staged.

Someone asked Lizzo in an IG Live "how she deals with being obese"- her response was hilarious.  

A beautiful short Hawaiian film Kapaemahu tells the story of four beings of androgynous and ambiguous spirit that arrived in Hawaii. They were strangers but quickly grew beloved by the local population for their prowess at healing, which was prodigious, due to their ability to access both their masculine and feminine sides within themselves. 

Interviewing the world's most famous drag queen.

We tell girls a simple story: get your period around 12, deal with some pain. Then more periods. Then around 50 the body is meant to politely retire. But itโ€™s never that simple. The unseen, unspoken stories of periods, vulvas and wombs are so much more complex โ€“ and that's exactly what's beautifully portrayed in this mesmerizing video "wombstories."  

At just 10 years old, Jazzy Guerra @jazzysworldtv is one of the youngest journalists on social media โ€“ she's a fantastic interviewer and has spoken with some big names like LeBron James, 50 cent, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 

Tomorrow is International Women's Day!!!! For the occasion, we've found 3 special "off the beaten path" events taking place. Each event represents a unique intersection often under-explored in mainstream feminism, and we're excited to attend the events with you in the hopes of continuing to strengthen our activism and understanding of intersectional feminism.

Policymakers and experts from around the world come together for IWD to examine the interrelationship between gender equality and climate action, and highlight innovative examples of policy and practice.  Speakers include Sonika Manandhar, Nepali computer engineer, social entrepreneur + UN young champion of the earth, Oladosu Adenike, Nigerian ecofeminist, and Zohra Moosa, executive Director of Mama Cash.

Women, trans, and gender-nonconforming people who use drugs and are engaged in illicit drug economies have largely been left out of broader feminist movements. New movements led by women who use drugs, prison abolitionists, women coca farmers, women opium growers, and others are seeking to bring down the walls separating drug policy reform and feminist movements, proving that building solidarity between these movements ultimately strengthens them both. The Feminist Drug Policy Realities event explores why drug policies centered on the experiences of women and gender diverse people are important to imagining and creating feminist realities.

A virtual event on abolition and transformative justice in order to better support survivors of violence, organized by Sistah Circle, a Black African feminist collective in Rwanda.
