Highlighting our Black Dominicans to disrupt the whitening of the Dominican Republic! Highlighting our ancestors who continue to work for our liberation! Petronila Angélica Gómez, school teacher and director of Fémina, the first feminist magazine in the Dominican Republic, can be considered one the pioneers in the development of feminism in her country. Through this magazine, she showcased her ideas about the role of women within Dominican society, promoted the creation of the first feminist organization in the country (the Dominican Feminist Central Committee in 1926), and debated the need to act against the invasion of the Dominican Republic by US Marines. Being part of an international network, Fémina represents one of the earliest examples of the participation of women in the intellectual fields in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting the importance of international associations and transnational consciousness that characterized many Latin American women of the time. #365black #blacklikeme #afrodominican #panafrican #veryblack #upliftingblackvoices #blackcaribbeanvoices #blackwriters #culturalworker #artactivists #whitesupremacyisterrorism #liftingafrocaribculture #blackrevolution #blackconsciousness #blackleaders #blackthought #decolonizeyourmind #blackdominicans #ancestorworship https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UfHeuJCb2/?igshid=qldkwxd4mc5
