Abstract

The South is situated as a universal and global benchmark of how to take what society says is backwards, slow, or regressive and change the narrative. The global recognition of two Southern black women, Beyonce Knowles Carter and Fannie Lou Hammer, has helped diversify the South's narrative by illustrating how their unapologetic ownership of their identity as southern black women has solidified their place in history as global icons for freedom of expression, social justice, and activism. Let these women's stories inspire you to embrace what you ain't supposed to and see how free you can be, chile. Zaire Love is a graduate student in Southern Studies at The University of Mississippi and is enthusiastic about creating thoughtful and noteworthy creative projects. In particular, the global recognition of two Southern black women, Beyonce Knowles Carter and Fannie Lou Hammer, has helped diversify the South's narrative by illustrating how their unapologetic ownership of their identity as southern black women has solidified their place in history as global icons for freedom of expression, social justice, and activism. Zaire sees it as her job to understand how these women's stories can inspire you to embrace what you ain't supposed to. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
