Why does including these things make sense to you? Hood Feminism is focused in part on the daily practicalities that some may not think fall under the feminist umbrella at all: safe and secure housing, decent and available food, good schools. It's a rejection of the idea that feminism is about white women's equality with white men. It's not a rejection of the idea that women should be equal.
One of the problems with the idea that "feminism" as a term applies to everyone is that it ignores bigotry inside the movement.

Kendall also cites the values that she believes should take center stage in feminism. The author also encourages feminist groups to consider that not all women face the same issue, a white woman’s struggles are different from that of a black woman. Kendall also insists that women need to accept the hard truth that some women are oppressing others instead of uplifting them. Kendall concludes her thesis that feminism should consider all women and the different challenges they face. The author strongly refutes these claims and gives a new perspective of looking at black women based on their strengths and achievements. Kendall also dissolves myths and stereotypical beliefs that demean black women hence deny them the help they need, for instance, the beliefs that African American women have eating disorders and black communities hate education. Kendall also dives deep into different issues which have been overlooked by most feminist for instance, poverty, gun violence, hunger, education, reproductive justice and housing which should be at the core of issues affecting many women in the community. According to Kendall, feminism has been twisted to favor only a handful of individuals. In the book, Kendall takes a closer look at feminism in the world today and takes note of how true values of feminism have been forgotten. The author, Mikki Kendall, argues that mainstream feminism in the United States has failed to include all women despite its claim that it represents over half of the world’s female population. Hood Feminism is a seminal work of feminist journalism that is based on the core belief that all genders are equal and that all communities of women, regardless of their race and color, have equal rights as human beings.
