@republicjournal has recently published some excellent pieces by African women. Here, Gambian writer Haddy Gassama unpacks the misrepresentation of African women and the erasure of their power by well-meaning Western #feminism. Worth a read.

Sexuality education was nonexistent in my family, as in many others. That's why I'm so grateful for @adventurefrom. Where else would a girl like me access narratives like this spicy piece by @fem_emp on queer African sexual experience?

Btw @adventurefrom will host its first live event in Accra on 16 December. Register if you can make it, and please support this rare and important space for African women to talk about pleasure, sex and sexualities. Link to the GoFundMe page: bit.ly/2CP9AzB.
Happy Sunday, happy reading and see you next week for more #SundayRead suggestions! Don't forget to tell me what you're reading.
