It's happening! Eyala's Season Two is launching with an interview @drtlaleng, a South African medical doctor, reproductive justice advocate and fierce #feminist. Why did Dr. T. choose activism over the comfort of a privileged career as a doctor? Find out!

What makes @drtlaleng's voice so unique? She never apologizes for who she is - instead, she makes sure her Blackness "shows up in full force" when necessary. A queen.

Here's my favorite part. @drtlaleng expands on several bold statements she makes in her book. She talks #sexwork, a #pleasure-centered approach to medecine, and why she thinks "the hymen is a useless piece of anatomy." Food for #feminist thought!

Of course I had to ask @drtlaleng what #feminism means to her, and what her #feminist motto is. We spoke about #Afrifem utopia and realities, and what it means to be indomitable. Inspired doesn't even begin to cover how I felt!

Many thanks, @drtlaleng for sharing your story and #feminist vision to me and the #Eyala community without shying away from controversy.

Friends, I cannot wait to hear your thoughts! Please read, share with a friend, and let's talk!

(Also, buy Dr. T.'s book. So worth it)
