I've finally carved out enough quiet time to go through all those open tabs in my browser and read the articles I'd marked as "to read later"(87 tabs! Don't judge my life🤦🏾‍♀️) Sharing five outstanding pieces that put my #feminist brain on 🔥

Issa thread!

My favorite: @FunmiB's spot-on piece about accountability between woke #feminist circles, and what it means for how we define #sisterhood. Published in the ever so excellent @AfriFeminists blog.

"Who does your humility serve?" Loved @TheJamaJack's glorious celebration of her own dopeness! But her insights on why many women shy away from embracing their greatness felt like a deep cut. A reminder for me to fight my impostor's syndrome.

Collective care within the feminist movement is one of my obsessions, but often I wonder, where do we even start? So grateful to @stillSHErises for breaking down what we can learn from the activists living with HIV in the 80s-90s. Via @5050oD

Because @drstellanyanzi is still in prison for no good reason, let me include this piece by @RosebellK for @cnni, explaining why "radical rudeness" is an important tool in African feminist' activism toolbox.

Loved the honesty and compassion in @BlessingOmakwu's post on why she believes #BusolaDakolo. A Nigerian #feminist who grew up in church, Blessing warns us: "This table I am about to shake, I am on it". #churchmetoo
