Rooted in the Waters is inspired by How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective, edited by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor. This channel is a space to explore the transformative history, ideas, and legacy of Black feminism through the lens of the Combahee River Collective, a pioneering group of Black feminist thinkers and activists. Through thoughtful analysis, storytelling, and celebration, we delve into the collective’s impact on liberation movements, social justice, and the development of intersectional activism.

At its heart, Rooted in the Waters is a tribute to the brilliance and resilience of Black women who have shaped our understanding of freedom and justice. By examining the historical figures, cultural contexts, and revolutionary ideas presented in Taylor’s work, the channel offers viewers an opportunity to connect with this powerful legacy. It is also a space for reflection and inspiration, inviting Black women to draw strength from these stories and envision paths forward grounded in solidarity, empowerment, and resilience. Rooted in the Waters is more than a channel—it is a celebration of Black feminist thought and the communities it continues to uplift.
