Author Alexis Pauline Gumbs on perpetuating the Black feminist legacy of Audre Lorde

An author who has drawn strong parallels with the iconic Black lesbian feminist writer Audre Lorde has spoken to FRANCE 24 about Lorde’s legacy, and her hope that she is carrying on her message. Alexis Pauline Gumbs is author of the new biography “Survival is a Promise – The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde”. At the same time, she’s in Paris to promote her latest book published in 2022 in English, entitled “Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals”, which has now been translated into French as “Non-noyées”. We spoke to her in Perspective.
