I've hardly read anything this week - this photo 👇🏾pretty much sums up my week. But I thought about what @Lusukalanga would do to me if I skipped my weekly #EyalaReads thread & decided I like being alive. So here are my #SundayRead suggestions on #WomensRights #Africa #feminism Image
My favorite: @SidrahMay wrote about being a visibly Muslim woman in Canada as a "stereotype-busting-Muslim-girl PR job" she's taken on since childhood. The exhaustion she so beautifully describes feels familiar. In @thismagazine

Dr. STELLA NYANZI IS FREE!

This is a great day for feminists everywhere, pan-African feminists and feminists around the world! A High Court quashed her conviction and sentencing. She has been in prison for a poem deemed “cyber harassment” about #Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni
In August 2019, the feminist scholar, activist and poet was sentenced to 18 months in prison for writing a poem wishing that Museveni’s mother’s birth canal had poisoned him during birth. Read the poem @drstellanyanzi wrote from prison and #BeBoldLikeNyanzi
Dr. Stella Nyanzi is one of my heroes. Her insistence on profanity in the face of patriarchy and dictatorship - the real profanity, the real offense, the real vulgarity - is legendary.

Fuck the patriarchy, everywhere. Fuck dictatorship, everywhere.
