It's that time of the week again! I'm back with Eyala's #SundayReads: a compilation of articles I've read over the past week and that resonated with my #Afrifem self. Sharing with you all because I love you 😍 and also because @Asmaaouu will send me DMs if I don't.

If you know @Nanjala1 please tell her I'm in awe of her brain and her writing. In this piece for @ForeignAffairs she breaks down how modern politics have betrayed the very notion of asylum - and how our silence makes us complicit. Brilliant.

I mistakenly added a tweet here and I can't delete it for some reason so please just skip to the following tweet in the thread while I try and acquire basic computer skills...
You want to sit down for this one. @Vanessa_LaLoba kicks off the "Writing the mother wound" series on @Longreads with words that feel like a punch in the guts. Can't wait to read the rest of it!

On a ligthter note, a timely read as I'm getting ready for a trip to New York next week (let me know if you're around!): packing advice (and so much more) from @rgay, a queen whose writing is so amazing I bet even her shopping lists are 🔥
