About this clip
Etta talks feminism: "There's this idea that feminism has 'happened' already. Or that feminism is something that fit within a box. How JWA thinks about feminism really falls under this broader umbrella of inclusion-- everyone has a story and everyone's story needs to be told in order to create a complete picture of who we are."
