Famous Black Men Who Are Proud Feminists
Barack Obama
Our former POTUS (who we ALL wish we could have back) is notable and amazing for many things he’s done in and out of office, but the love and respect he consistently shows for women is arguably one of his best.
In an essay he wrote for Glamour specifically about feminism and what the concept means to him, he was very candid about how he and Michelle were raising their daughters.
“Michelle and I have raised our daughters to speak up when they see a double standard of feel unfairly judged based on their gender or race — or when they notice that happening to someone else. It’s important for them to see role models out in the world who climb to the highest levels of whatever field they choose. And yes, it’s important that their dad is a feminist, because no that’s what they expect of all men.”
