Misogynoir Transformed. Moya Bailey

researchers must be suspicious of surveillance given its deeply anti-Black origins and development.84 The line between accurately citing the social media content I procured and exposing the users who created that content to uninvited scrutiny is one I travel with care.

      These Black women as well as Black nonbinary, agender, and gender-variant folks are carving out their own spaces rather than trying to make room for themselves within existing frameworks. To be sure, using social media to react to oppressive situations is not a long-term strategy for addressing the rampant misogynoir in our society, but the way Black women have enacted digital alchemy certainly creates opportunities for transformation.
