"Who decides when a woman is a woman? Is her agency ever enough?" The young women from @GirlBeHeard set the stage on fire at #WD2019 session on feminist philanthropy beautifully hosted by @MATCHIntFund. Excited to see @aminaolayiwola @OhTimehin and @pruncie on the same panel!

The corporate world celebrates failure as learning but "in our community, any failure could cause your demise". "So how can we create enough incubation spaces to try and fail?" Great point by @jbobalotta of @AstraeaUpdates at @MATCHIntFund Feminist Frontlines session #WD2019

I'm taking to heart @pruncie's strategies for success at Feminist frontlines session by @MATCHIntFund at #WD2019: come prepared (like Beyoncé ahead of Coachella!), be clear on your unique added value and be okay with sticking to what you're good at, and build solidarity. Thanks!

Solidarity as a strategy of resistance and a tool for collective liberation: @aminaolayiwola blessed us with a beautiful message about the power of community for #feminist change.

Thank you @MATCHIntFund has put together my favorite #WD2019 session so far!

Amazing analysis by @OhTimehin of the power of social media as a space for African feminists to "find new means to battle old oppressions". And yet, "our power onlie doesn't always reduce our vulnerability offline". This new blogger can relate.
