I read on Sundays and so should you.

Here are some #SundayRead recommendations on #feminism, #WomensRights & #Africa, with an unapologetic bias for pieces by #Afrifem writers.

(Now using #EyalaReads hashtag 'coz I can't find my own damn tweets!)

My favorite: @Afrowomanist's tribute to Toni Morrison moved me to tears. I could explain why, but I'm still ugly-crying so you just go read for yourself okay? It's on @AfriFeminists.

Every African #feminist who's shared their journey with me has spoken of their relationship with their mother. Is that why @NanaYBrantuo's beautiful piece stole my heart? Or is it because I too have been called "too much" so often?

I've had a hell-ish week so I stayed away from the gay men/ heterosexual marriage
controversy that rocked West African feminist Twitter. Grateful to @JustDerby for reminding us that sisterhood requires radical empathy, even online.

I swear @OhTimehin doesn't pay me to promote her writing every week. It's just so beautifully and consistently good. Just read her #ValentinesDay critique of romantic love. Sis I want to write like you when I grow up.

Happy reading, Eyala family!

Wishing you much love - the revolutionary kind - for yourselves, for your sisters, for humankind and for the planet.
