This week, define&empower’s founder Amanda Bennett had the chance to have a conversation with Tammie Zhao. Tammie is the founder of the liberationist community Just Gilded Cages. An artist and civic entrepreneur, Tammie holds space for humanity to connect and collaborate on building a world we all want to thrive in. In our conversation, we answered a listener question about how to protect Black girls from being hypersexualized while also instilling in them a sense of freedom through the practice of a loving community.
