I'm pretty annoyed about @Twitter ruining my #SundayRead thread yesterday, but the first words I read today were “You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather" (Pema Chödrön) so... Here are some #GreatReads about #Africa & #feminism to start your week!

2019 has been my year of fear. Crippling doubt that's kept me away from @EyalaBlog for months, until a few weeks ago when I realized fear was boring. Doesn't make for an inspiring end-of-year post, but @stillSHErises says it's okay and that gives me peace.

Might just be #FOMO but with all the pics from #YearOftheReturn on my feeds, I've wondered why everyone (I follow) was posting about parties and nothing else. Then I read @AfroKwabena's take on the many opportunities #Ghana missed this year.

A few days ago when someone here sneeringly demanded that @OhTimehin define 'woman', I sucked my teeth and went back to my life. But Timehin turned that interaction into this excellent piece and I just have to stan. I love you Timehin!

There's something about @monaeltahawy - her triumphant words, her defiant eye maybe - that makes me want to shout "FUCK THE PATRIARCHY" 'til my lungs hurt. Read her great interview with @LeilaEttachfini for
@VICE about her #feminist vision.

I have more to share but the view from my Morocco vacation spot 👇🏾 is calling me outside (so are my kids, tbh).
Wishing you beautiful #AfriFem souls the most joyful of holidays. See you in 2020, when I'll ignore the fear and shame and go all in with Eyala. Can't wait!
