Episode Details

In this episode, Brown Ambition host Mandi Woodruff-Santos sits down with the fearless author and activist Mikki Kendall, whose groundbreaking book, Hood Feminism, helped reshape how we think about feminism, community, and survival.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Mikki dives deep into her journey navigating personal growth, relationships, and the challenges of confronting white feminism. Together, Mandi and Mikki unpack the power of collective action, the importance of building strong communities, and what it truly means to survive—and thrive—in today’s America.

Mikki also gives a sneak peek at her next project, Autopsy of the American Dream, and shares a much-needed reality check about the potential for America to head for its next Civil War. 

Get ready for real talk on redemption, resilience, and the revolutionary strength of Black womanhood.
