Truth Telling and Imagining
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Founded in 2011, Girls Justice League is a girl-led gender justice non-profit organization based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Inspired by bell hooks's approach of truth telling through dialogue, we reflect on a conversation in which six individuals representing current Girls Justice League youth leaders and adult allies offer viewpoints on this organization as a homeplace of meaning making. The conversation explores our past and present learnings about staying true to an intersectional vision of girls’ activism while existing in a capitalist, patriarchal, adultist society based on misogynoir stereotypes, and future imaginings for gender-based activism and collective liberation through youth-adult partnership work.
