“Fe Fe’s” is a slang term for ‘female’ from the 1990s, when they started.
The Empowered Fe Fes is a support and action group of young women with disabilities, ages 16 to 24. The Fe Fes represent all kinds of different disabilities and come from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. "Fe Fe" is slang for "female" from the 90s, when the group started. They meet to discuss issues like being disabled and a girl, like dating, job hunting, sexuality, family conflict, getting an apartment, independence, power, rights and making communities better.
