Title of the paper : Black Feminism: A Paradigm for Understanding How Sexuality, Imperialism, and Intersectionality Impact The Rise of Black Women In Leadership

Abstract: The historical analysis of the contextual factors that have molded and constrained the advancement of Indian women in leadership is presented in this study via the lens of Black feminism. Black women have overcome oppression based on their sex, class, and even race, and they will do so in the future. Black feminisms analysis of historical tales of Black womens rise to leadership paints an image of intellectual inferiority and impotence that is far different from the one painted by the dominant society. The image painted through the Black feminist lens, however, not only serves as a sobering reminder of how oppressive forces have institutionalized and become undetectable to the uncritical eye, but also of how Black women and all other oppressed groups can proceed and thrive in the fight for radical educational, social, and economic parity through education, political activism and involvement on all levels, and group solidarity. To shed light on the difficulties of intersectionality in feminist discourse, this in-depth discussion with numerous researchers is intended. This discussion of Nashs work and viewpoints on intersectionality for class, gender, sexual orientation, race, and hierarchies of privilege and power is the main topic of this interview.
