The purpose of Cite Black Women is encompassed by its name. The collective works "to push people to critically rethink the politics of knowledge production by engaging in a radical praxis of citation that acknowledges and honors Black women's transnational intellectual production." In other words, "it's time to give credit where credit is due." Readers may want to begin by browsing the Our Praxis and Our Collective pages. Then, readers can dive into the organization's work. This work takes many forms, with social media platforms (@CiteBlackWomen on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook), a blog (under Our Blog) sharing input from various writers, and a podcast (under Our Podcast) where guests discuss their research and citation politics generally. In addition to the Soundcloud link embedded at the site above, listeners will find the Cite Black Women podcast on Google Play, Stitcher and iTunes. The show is produced by Christen Smith (who also hosts the show and launched the collective) and Michaela Machicote, with audio engineering from Lydia Fortuna.
