Perspectives: S31/Ep32 Fighting injustice with support and cash

Martine Resnick and Eileen Lee are co-founders of the Lola is a womxn’s club and community space with a mission to amplify the voices of all womxn. Using womxn in their visual language is very intentional. They use it to be clear in their commitment to inclusivity and intersectionality for all womxn, including any person who self identifies as female. When it was safe to meet and network in person, the Lola held court in the Old Fourth Ward. Now they gather virtually and Resnick and Lee this fall will begin accepting application sfor $300,000 over a 12-month period to support Black womxn entrepreneurs and social justice organizations. This investment will include grants for start-up costs, sponsorships, access to The Lola’s community and space, in addition to programming and events aimed at amplifying the voices of Black womxn.
