audre lorde: fighting silence with fierce truth

Audre Lorde, a Black lesbian feminist poet and activist, famously said, “Your silence will not protect you.” Her work confronts the intersecting oppressions of race, gender, and sexuality with uncompromising honesty. Lorde’s poetry is an act of resistance — a refusal to be silenced by systems designed to marginalize her. She embodies the power of embracing complex, multiple identities to challenge injustice on many fronts. Her legacy continues to inspire activists and artists who refuse to accept oppression as normal. #Entertainment #Books #FeministPioneers #AudreLorde #Intersectionality
