It's reading time! Here's Eyala's #SundayRead, a selection of recent articles about Africa, women's rights and #feminism that resonated with me enough that I wanted to share them with you all.
Let me start with some good news for a change. 2019 has been so rough for women that @GlobalFundWomen's recap of 10 major gains for gender justice gave me pause, then joy and courage.
I just want to thank each #Feminist warrior out there.

"I have been thinking a lot about what it takes to survive in a system where you aren’t meant to survive anyway."
@Judicaelle_ wrote powerful words that stirred by soul and brain. Again.

The piece I didn't expect to enjoy (only learn from) but really did: Rama Salla Dieng interviews Ruth Bush about "French language a battlefield of literary resistance or revolution" for @africasacountry.

Thorough and thought-provoking analysis of the power of #feminist philanthropy by the directors of @dreilindenorg and @UAFAfrica i @Alliancemag. Worth a read!

Reading @OkayAfrica's recap of how (often #feminist) activists in #Africa have used social media in the past decade, I'm reminded of the not distant days when pundits could hardly hide their contempt anytime "hashtag activism" came up.

Happy reading!
As I think about Eyala's content for 2020, I've been wondering if these #SundayRead threads actually add value to anyone here or if I should drop them. If you have a minute, please share thoughts or suggestions in the comments or in my DMs. Merci!
