It's a new dawn, it's a new year, it's a new decade, and I feel... kinda tired actually. Why is January like that?

Anyway, I'm never too tired to read, so here's Eyala's first #SundayRead of the 2020s: a selection of recommended pieces about #Africa, #WomensRights & #feminism.

Do you have feminist New Year's resolutions? Do you review the progress in your feminist journey at the end of the year? I don't, but after reading @Asmaaouu's piece on @AfriFeminists, I might get on board!

So much has been written about Meghan Markle "and her husband" stepping back from senior leadership in the British royal family, but @afuahirsch summed it up beautifully for all the "surprised" Britons:

It's the racism. Deal with yourselves.

While the media was buzzing with stories about the royals, a 10-year old boy somehow hid in the undercarriage of an @airfrance plane in an attempt to migrate from Côte d'Ivoire to France and died (probably from the cold).

What have we become?

See you next week for more #SundayRead recommendations, and very soon on eyala.blog for more reflections from me and some amaaaazing African feminists about what feminism means to us, and how we practice it.

I left my fears in 2019, so let's do this!

(Ahem, @MsAfropolitan's upcoming book is titled Sensuous Knowledge - not sensual. Sorry! But let's pre-order it nevertheless!)
