I really was awakened in my thinking and as a result, I am intrigued and even more curious about how to armor myself with more feminist qualities, education and now I have even more questions… which I find a positive side effect. I will continue onwards towards my education of how to unravel my own toxic-patriarchal belief systems and challenge my own racism, sexism and misogynistic beliefs.
