What's your #SundayRead routine? Mine is: waking up at stupid o'clock to read in peace the billion articles I've bookmarked throughout the week...

And sharing my favorites with you. So here's a selection of insightful pieces about #Africa, #feminism & #WomensRights. Get comfy!

"The essence of a human being, I believe, is to deconstruct." Fascinating interview of Black Moroccan artist M'barek Bouchichi about the role of art & race in building his African identity. By @AminaSoulimani. Highly recommended read!

Every time I read words by @stillSHErises, I'm in awe. Hopeless fangirl syndrome. So of course I loved her conversation with Rama Salla Dieng on @ROAPEjournal: about revolutionary love, religious fundamentalism, #feminist mothering and more.

In Senegal, a group of female hip-hop lovers are defying patriarchy by rapping about rape, domestic violence, and the way society forces women into suffering in silence. Long live @GenjiHip!

Beautifully captured by @ricci_sh.

I'll add this video of @vanessa_vash reacting to @AP's racist attempt to erase her contribution to the climate justice movement. Not any summary of the controversy. Her voice, unfiltered. Her standing for herself and all African women.
In solidarity ✊🏾

That's it for this week, friends! Can't wait to hear what you all are reading today.

Enjoy these reads, enjoy your day, and yes, enjoy your life. It's way too short. Happy Sunday!
