It's been a long, exhausting week, with more painful conversations than most of us had the bandwith to deal with. But we made it to another Sunday, so it's time for #EyalaReads! I'm recommending some articles I read this week about #WomensRights #Feminism & #Africa.

I'm fascinated by blindspots, so I've been wondering: who are we (not) talking about when we chant #BlackLivesMatter? Iconic transgender activist @immissmajor told @blkwomenradical why we need to be inclusive of the Black trans community.

The impact of the #COVID19 pandemic is getting more worrying every day. This @TheAtlantic report shows that the supplies of sexual health products are running low and my brain hurts as I imagine the consequences for #WomensRights...

#Afrifem Twitter has been debating whether cis het women should abandon marriage in resistance of patriarchy. It's a conversation I haven't yet wrapped my head around so I'm grateful to @JustDerby for this contribution.

@Drsaalajeng has done it again! I love, love love this interview with @JustDerby @sayyshells @Akua_Golda & other members of the LBQ Gathering collective.
Aaaah, #Afrifem excellence gives me joy!

My favorite: I stumbled upon @TheSugaDuga's offering on grief and I wept and wept. Sorry again for your losses my dear. And thank you so much for the beauty of your words.

Reminder (to self): self-care is a must for social justice activists of color right now. I have a lot to learn on that front so I'm grateful to @opalayo & @CharleneCac for sharing their #selfcare approaches and routines with @thelilynews.

Ok that's enough reading for today right? Let me save some for next week. Wishing you a quiet, restful Sunday. Unclench that jaw. Relax those shoulders. Read. Breathe. Love yourself. Let yourself be loved.
(Advice I am going to try and follow myself!)
