A writer, activist and facilitator, she describes her thought as postnationalism - others have described it as Black feminism or womanism. She also supports, among others, the Black Lives Matter and prison abolition movements.
Brown's anthology Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good was released in February 2019 "demonstrates how activists can tap into emotional and erotic desires to organize against oppression." In September 2021, Brown published the novella Grievers, her first long form work of published fiction.
Adrienne Maree Brown invites YES! media readers to join her in writing “fan fiction and fan poetics for the future.”
Her next and final column for this series, she will explore the practical wisdom of “transforming ourselves to transform the world” - tying together the arc of accountability into a cycle of dialectical humanism that allows us to not just survive but evolve.
