Queer Black feminist scholar Rachel Afi Quinn is a co-founder of South Asian Youth in Houston Unite (SAYHU). SAYHU's process of coalition building across difference applies Black feminist theory and South Asian feminist methodologies to community building in greater Houston. Dr. Quinn will talk about SAYHU's approach to building an inclusive social justice-oriented community, and some of the challenges we have faced as we teach about feminism, colorism, anti-blackness, and solidarities in the South.
