Ep 35: White Feminism Runs on Fear
Ep 35: White Feminism Runs on Fear  
Podcast: Interrupting Business As Usual
Published On: Sun Aug 31 2025
Description: In this episode of "Interrupting Everything," Nikki Blak explores the concept of safety and fear within the framework of white feminism. She argues that fear, often weaponized by white feminism, immobilizes folks and keeps them complicit in oppressive systems. Nikki discusses how white feminism uses fear as a guiding principle, encouraging silence and complicity rather than action and calls for a shift from performing politics to practicing them, urging listeners to let go of the "good white woman" identity and take liberatory risks. The episode concludes with a call to action to register for her free class, "How to Stop Failing at Feminism," and an invitation to join the final cohort of "Interrupting White Womanhood." Special thanks to Def Sound for providing the theme for Interrupting Everything.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Where do we go from here? To learn more about what you heard on the podcast today, visit nikkiblak.com.
