Guess who forgot to hit publish on last week's #SundayRead? Let me make it up to you with a longer selection of pieces I've read recently. Keep reading if you're interested in Africa, #Feminism and, well, reading on Sundays.
A woman's place is in the revolution, exhibit A. The new Sudanese PM has repealed an incredibly discriminatory 'public order' law. I'm so in awe of the women of the #SudanUprising, especially how they keep saying 'thanks but this is only the beginning'.✊🏾

A woman's place is in the revolution, exhibit B. In the #LebanonProtests, 'the women's front line' serves to protect the peace and to lead the change.
Great reporting by @LinaDuqueMBA for @CNN

I think every #feminist I know has expressed her profession of anger at some point. I've scribbled mine on a notebook, but haven't yet dared to publish it. But @Lusukalanga has, and it's glorious. Thank you for owning your rage sis!

The rise of homophobic hate speech in Africa, sponsored and organized by the American far-right, is a terrifying trend we #Afrifem need to expose and push back against. Proud of @nas009 for speaking out with this op-ed (in @Essence!!!)

"I don't want to go to ICPD50" is exactly what I told my friend @FlaviaMwaka as we left #ICPD25 a few weeks ago. Clearly I wasn't the only one. @LinaAbiRafeh makes a strong case against conferences. But have you all seen the 2020 calendar?

Exciting to see @MTVShuga being adapted for Francophone African audience. Hello @mtvshugababi! Interesting @FT analysis of @MTV's show's impact over the past decade.

I'm so tired of the "yes, but" brigade trying to poke holes in feminists' explanations of sexual consent. I'm bookmarking this @UN_Women piece to send to some people I never want to explain myself to again.

I've been freezing in London all week, a reminder if how much I hate winter. But @DrJenGunter made everything better with this hilarious piece. "It’s winter vagina time, bitches"!

I could share a few more, but I need to catch the plane that'll save me from this cold. Happy Sunday and happy reading!
