Summary:What does performing 'revolutionary motherhood' on social media platforms do? In Performing Queer Mamí on Social Media: Gender-Fluid Parenting as a Practice of Decolonisation , Dr. Jessica N. Pabón offers a testimonía about her queer Latina feminist mothering to examine how performing revolutionary motherhood on Facebook became a practice of decolonization. Interested and invested in our ability to decolonise bodies and minds, if not land, through gender-fluid parenting, she argues that public performances of queer Latina motherhood are performative and pedagogical anti-colonial enactments of healing and transformation both individual and collective.
