I embrace the label of bad feminist because I am human.
I would rather be a bad feminist than no feminist at all.
I believe women not just in the abstract, but in the real.
I am a mess of contradictions.
I resist a binary world.
I believe in personal agency.
I am a woman of color, I am a feminist.
I am not a perfect feminist, but I am a feminist.
I am a feminist. I am not as good a feminist as I should be.
I am human. I am messy. I am flawed.
I believe in choice.
I believe in the right to be who I am.
