It's time for #EyalaReads: your weekly selection of great articles about #Africa, #feminism & #WomensRights. With an unapologetic focus on African women writers (and now a deliberately avoidance of stress-inducing content about #Covid_19). Ready?

As you might have noticed, nothing gives me more joy than to celebrate the badassery of a #feminist sister. That's what Eyala is all about. So let me start with this @nytimes profile of Ugandan @drstellanyanzi. She is epic.

Also can this virus go away already? I need to go to Abidjan to meet @DroEdwige, visit her brand new #feminist library @1949books! In the meantime, read more about her vision in this interview with @brittlepaper.

I don't know @OhTimehin well but I love her so much. Her @The_Corres newsletter about mourning her plans made "in 2020BC (Before Coronavirus)"😂 and choosing to prioritize creativity helped me crawl out of my apathy. Read it!
