Definitions  

Black Auntie - Auntie is used frequently in countries such as India and throughout Africa, where age signifies dignity and the elderly are considered an asset to the community rather than a burden. In African American culture, younger people sometimes use the title to signal respect toward an older woman who has proven to be audacious and wise. 

Polyamorous - characterized by or involved in the practice of engaging in multiple sexual relationships with the consent of all the people involved. 

Feminism - the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. 

Womanism - Alice Walker introduced the word “womanist” into feminist parlance in her 1983 book "In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Womanist Prose." In the book, she cites the phrase “acting womanish,” which was said to a child who acted serious, courageous and grown-up rather than girlish. 

Intersectional Feminist - aims to separate itself from white feminism by acknowledging the fact that all women have different experiences and identities. It is a qualitative analytic framework that identifies how interlocking systems of power affect those who are most marginalized in society.
