Written Powers of Rowan Blanchard
If you haven't heard of Rowan Blanchard, just ask yourself are you for real? She's fourteen years old and the youngest most intersectional feminist we've seen in this day and age. She currently plays Riley Matthews on Girl Meets World, the counterpart quirky girl version of her TV dad Cory Matthews. Just by following her on social media especially on Twitter, you are sure to be informed and inspired that age doesn't hinder self-awareness and social intelligence. In less than 140 characters, she expresses her views of racial discrimination, the pressures of being a female actress, her love for Beyoncé, feminism and more.
Today, Blanchard hit a milestone. It has been a year since she published her essay regarding intersectional feminism on Rookie Magazine. She has spoken on feminism not being just simple "men and women are equal," its broader than that its all people being equal. Regardless of race and gender, we can all brake down patriarchal structures. We hear you, Rowan. We are here. And we can't wait to see and hear what you have next!
