Topic: Moya Bailey

Moya Bailey, who coined the term "misogynoir," discusses "digital alchemy"—the process by which marginalized groups repurpose social media platforms for unintended uses. The conversation contrasts this with Kevin Samuels' use of the same tools to promote a patriarchal viewpoint. The segment references Audrey Lorde’s quote about the "master's tools" to question whether existing institutions can ever be truly dismantled from within.

Moya Bailey, the scholar who coined "misogynoir," explains her concept of "digital alchemy." This involves Black women using digital platforms like Twitter and Facebook in ways they were never intended to foster "liberation" or "justice." The hosts are skeptical of the idea that one can dismantle "the master's house" (capitalism) using the "master's tools" (corporate social media), viewing it as a form of academic "gobbledygook."
