[7] After leaving traditional school settings to pursue her own independent studies, Frazier participated in political organizing and activism with the Chicago Black Panther's Breakfast Program and the Jane Collective.
In January of 1983, Frazier interviewed Diane Dujon about her advocacy surrounding issues that working women faced during that time.

[9] As a founding member of the Combahee River Collective, Frazier's intellectual labor is referenced every time the CRC name is uttered.
On the subject of intergenerational coalition, Frazier stated in a 2017 roundtable:"...I dream of deep listening across the generations, both to what we find easy to say and to that with which we struggle mightily...Organizing for political change is hard work, particularly in coalition, and core issues--the ability to deeply listen, to tolerate ambiguity and paradox, to demonstrate respect in the ways that are most meaningful when working across and through difference---take a kind of discipline that takes leadership and time to develop.
"[10]Frazier continues to dismantle the myth of white supremacy, by working to end misogynoir, hetero-patriarchal hegemony, and undermining late stage capitalism.
In this lecture, Frazier raised questions about the decision-making process in regard to architectural design in cities, and explored the impacts that it can have on minority communities.
