Being a woman of colour will mean something different to each of us. What we do have in common, however, is an experience of discrimination both because of our gender and on account of our race.
This is why intersectional feminism, a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, was so close to my heart while creating Rise and why, although this book is predominantly a celebration, I chose not to diminish the hardships or traumas the women endured on their way to becoming incredible pioneers. To write only of their achievements would be doing a disservice to these women and to my readers.

Negin Khpalwak
Conductor – Born February 1996 – Afghanistan
The year before Negin Khpalwak’s birth, The Taliban banned music in Afghanistan - in the streets, at gatherings, even at home. Instruments, cassettes and records were destroyed and attacks on Afghan cultural heritage that was thousands of years old. However, music censorship in Afghanistan was not new. Since 1978, there had been heavy restrictions on music, which was controlled by the communist government.
Khpalwak, born into a Pashtun family, Lived in north-eastern Afghanistan. Girls’ education in her region was prohibited, but she wanted to study. Her father supported her, and when she was nine he took her to an orphanage in Kabul where she could attend school. Four years later, and having developed a passion for music, Khpalwak applied for admission to the Afghanistan National Institute of Music (ANIM). ANIM was founded in 2010 by a musicologist who had returned to Afghanistan after living in exile for many years. Khpalwak did not tell her family about the application.

The ban on music had been removed when Taliban was brought down in 2001, but in many conservative families, it was still considered sinful. While visiting her family, Khpalwak received news of her acceptance at ANIM. Her mother was shocked; in their region, even boys weren't allowed to study music. Khpalwak’s father was once again supportive, although her uncles threatened violence against her, and people warned the family that she would bring them shame. Khpalwak remained courageous, and accepted her place. Talented and hardworking, Khpalwak learned to play the lute-like robab and the piano. She also studied singing, before becoming Afghanistan’s first female conductor. Famously, she led the all-female orchestra ‘Zohra’, Which was named after the Persian goddess of music. Zohra, founded in 2015, has since performed around the world, from New Delhi to Sydney, Berlin, Davos and New York. Khpalwak made her family proud, achieved her dreams and entered history. ‘I will never accept defeat,’ she said has said. ‘I will continue to play music. I do not feel safe, but when people see me and say, “that is Negin Khpalwak”, that gives me energy.’

This tells me that these women were treated unfairly in more than one way. When the author then mentions “intersectional feminism”, it helps me infer that she wants readers to understand how these different forms of discrimination overlap. The author includes this idea to show that the women’s experiences were complex and shaped by both gender and race, not just one or the other.
