Blair Imani: Modern HERstory, with Lori Rodriguez

An inspiring and radical celebration of 70 women, girls, and gender nonbinary people who have changed–and are still changing–the world, from the Civil Rights Movement and Stonewall riots through Black Lives Matter and beyond.

With a radical and inclusive approach to history, Modern HERstory profiles and celebrates seventy women and nonbinary champions of progressive social change in a bold, colorful, illustrated format for all ages. Despite making huge contributions to the liberation movements of the last century and today, all of these trailblazers come from backgrounds and communities that are traditionally overlooked and under-celebrated: not just women, but people of color, queer people, trans people, disabled people, young people, and people of faith. Authored by rising star activist Blair Imani, Modern HERstory tells the important stories of the leaders and movements that are changing the world right here and right now–and will inspire you to do the same.

Blair Imani is a black queer American Muslim activist. She is the founder and executive director of Equality for HER, a nonprofit educational platform for feminine-identifying individuals. As a political journalist and commentator, she has appeared on Fox News and MSNBC, and has guest lectured at Yale and Harvard Universities. Her writing has appeared in the Huffington Post and VICE and she has been featured in Nylon, Teen Vogue, Salon, Broadly, This American Life, The 405, Public Radio International, and Bustle.

Lori Rodriguez is the Director of Partnerships and Research at Equality for HER in addition to serving as the Board President of the organization. Lori presently leads all of the organization’s research efforts. Hailing from Hawthorne, California, Lori Rodriguez earned a degree in Religious Studies from Reed College. Lori has served in roles at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Basic Rights Oregon, and is a highly sought after voice on Anti-Capitalism, White Supremacy, and Decolonization.
