Enjoying this @WOWisGlobal panel where #Afrifem discuss their #Feminist vision for #Africa. Brilliantly moderated by @stillSHErises (proving yellow was made for Black women) & with sis @LeylaHussein, fellow book lover @kinnareads & @awdf01 founder Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi
#WowGlobal24
@stillSHErises opened by sharing the words Zimbabwean freedom fighter, who beautifully chose to name herself Freedom: "Liberation is a man but freedom is a woman."
Yes oh!
#WowGlobal24 @WOWisGlobal #Afrifem
@kinnareads didn't came to play oh. She reminded us that "Every Sunday or Sunday, African women are giving money to institutions that are busy stripping us of our rights." Our purchasing power should be used to finance our #feminist movement. Me: 👇🏾

@LeylaHussein asked all the right questions. "How safe are our safe spaces? Are they safe physically? Socially? Emotionally?"
#WowGlobal24
@bisiafayemi's hope for a feminist Africa: "a place where my children, my girls especially, can be safe, be heard, and have choices."
Yes please!
#WowGlobal24 @awdf01
Thank you all for the conversation. It's inspiring to be envisioning #feminist futures for Africa with you.
And thanks to @lolashoneyin and @akefestival for curating such a wonderful #Africa segment for #WowGlobal24!
PS! who is the amazong poet who spoke right after the panel?
"Every Sunday or FRIDAY..." is what she said. Sorry I got carried away 😬
