Activism Log 10

April 25 – May 1

  • Activism

This was the end of semester show for the Feminist Agenda Radio. It was also the last show for our host and leader, Deborah “Debonair” Bernacett. It was kind of a sappy-sweet show, light on feminist analysis and current events, and more about reminiscing about the semester. We played songs we liked, and we closed out with Vitamin C's perennial graduation hit. Debonair announced her replacements, Josh, Dom, and myself.

  • Reflection

Like how Kirk and Okazawa-Rey open their text with a history of feminists, and thereby honoring those before them, we decided to honor the person who started the Feminist Agenda Radio, Debbie (7). She got us motivated about the project, and she did not make it a chore for us. We wanted to let the listeners know how much we enjoyed this project.

  • Reciprocity

One thing that has had me thinking is this idea of legacies. I want the new iteration of Feminist Agenda Radio in the fall to not be remembered as “the time when Debbie's show was ruined” but as “when those kids Debbie taught made her show better.” Debbie has a good reputation, and she has friends. I do not want word to get back to her that we killed her show after she put so much into it.
