The first anniversary of Binyavanga Wainaina's passing is approaching, and I found myself re-reading his beautiful piece about love, self-discovery, coming out and grief.
A classic.

I have mixed feelings about this @washingtonpost piece on how #MeToo is living on outside of the US. Interesting perspectives from around the world but the title had me shouting @monaeltahawy's words: "The US is not the center of the #feminist universe"

Last but not least: I was honoured to be in conversation with @SaalaJeng as part of her excellent "Talking back" series. Grateful for the chance to articulate my vision of #Feminism and lessons from my work with Eyala & beyond.
