Kathleen Hannah

This week in class we watched the documentary about Kathleen Hannah and the many bands she created. She is the true definition of a social justice warrior. Although feminism today is much different then it was back then, the idea of equality remains the same. Kathleen lived the life she dreamed of. Whatever she wanted to do, she did and very few people can say they did that. She was constantly in negative spotlight and never even made it mainstream. But her passion for equality and to inspire others played as major motivation to keep going. Her career can be describe with many different terms all with contrasting meanings. Controversial because her message and behaviors were not accepted by all. Inspirational because of how she became a role model for those who never had a figure to meet those standards. And lastly persevering. She never stopped even when she was told she couldn't or when the odds were stacked against her. Kathleen didn't meet my style of music but her story and life were incredible in my eyes.
