FASHION/ Do You Like Pink Booty Shoes?

Posted by Rachel On November-17-2009

For all the women who would like a dose of "you're not good enough" medicine, Reebok has just the shoe for you! Hooray! Reebok recently came out with a "athletic shoe" named "easy tone" that advertises to tone your booty simply via walking.

Objectifying a woman's body is no bueno.

Rebecca Walker was named one of the fifty most influential leaders of our generation from TIME magazine. Walker was educated at Yale University and now resides in Northern California with her family. She is a well-known feminist through her books such as What Makes a Man, Black White and Jewish, and recently Baby Love and One Big Happy Family. The book Black White and Jewish is a story about Rebecca Walker growing up as a biracial individual. First, with her parents interracial marriage claiming Rebecca as a movement child, but later losing her sense of placement in society when her parents get a divorce at the age of 8. Walker struggles with her identity as she moves between houses of her Black mother and Jewish father. Rebecca looks at what it means to be a biracial feminist and how family can help shape an individual’s identity. I read the book and strongly recommend anyone to read it. Be sure to check out Rebecca Walker’s works!
