It's no surprise that Rowan Blanchard would be close friends with Amandla Stenberg; the 13-year-old star of the Disney Channel reboot Girl Meets World recently made headlines with a thoughtful, moving, and incredibly impressive blog post on gender politics and intersectional feminism. "I have made a very big point at making sure my personal feminism includes everyone, and educating myself and discussing these topics have really helped," she started, saying, "Cultural patterns of oppression are not only interrelated, but are bound together and influenced by the intersectional systems of society. Examples of this include race, gender, class, ability, and ethnicity." Not only is her essay worth a read, but this up-and-comer is worth following as well.
