Relieved I was able to fly on Tuesday to be with my brother and his family for the holiday. This weather! Parents and sister and her husband drive to be with us tonight. It’s been a while and I’m grateful for this family reunion.
And after this short break with my family, I will see you next week #Soweto for @Abantu_! I am so excited! #abantubookfest
Since September, #FeministGiant World Tour has taken all over and I am grateful to all who came to see me speak and all who have bought The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls as well as Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution. More dates 2020!
#FeministGiant World Tour started in September with #Bosnia’s first #Pride, in #Sarajevo, and the feminist #Pitchwise arts festival and is wrapping up in #Soweto at the fabulous and radical #abantubookfest. Love and solidarity with all friends and comrades along the way.

I will keep asking this: how many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?

DNA identified a serial predator. The law let him off the hook. motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
From the chapter Violence in my book The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls:

I am talking about the end of rape because men are sufficiently scared of women that they would never dare to rape or try to rape them.
#7necessarysins
I insist we push the conversation until we get to the part where men fear women enough that rape becomes an anomaly. So how many rapists must we kill? And I don’t want the state to protect me because “protection” is conditional. I want to be free of patriarchy, not at its mercy.

I learned from my friend @YvonnecherieVG (R) that her dear friend Rose Hudson-Wilkin (centre) was recently consecrated the first Black woman bishop in the Church of England at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Bishop Hudson-Wilkin will be seated in Canterbury Cathedral on November 30th.
☝🏽via @YvonnecherieVG with former House of Cimmins Speaker John Bercow. Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkins was his chaplain in the House of Commons. They are in the library at Lambeth Palace.
Congratulations to Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkins and many thanks to dear @YvonnecherieVG for telling me about this historic event.

Every Day Is the Day To End #ViolenceAgainstWomen
If every act of violence against women were reported on the news, men’s violence against women would be recognized for the epidemic - the war - that it is.

1/16...Far too often I find that many adults like to focus on the negatives surrounding social media/technology and our kids. We like to celebrate and recognize the positives. In this spirit, I offer the following examples: #parents #digitalliteracy #socialmediasafety #STEAM
What about this teen who developed this App to help students manage their homework
3/16... what about teens who are winning full 4 year college scholarships to join e-gaming teams

1) Dear #Parents of kids in elem schools:

I'm not tagging your account or your school's account, but a lot of schools do biased and racist and educationally WRONG activities to "teach" kids about "the First Thanksgiving" and they share photos of the activities on social media.
2) If you signed a waiver that your school could take and use photos of your child, you might find photos of your child in a costume that is meant to be an "Indian" at that "first Thanksgiving." Some parents think it is cute and share photos, too.
3) It isn't cute. One day, your kid might ask you why you let that happen.

#Parents of white kids: You are NOT powerless to keep your kids from being radicalized into white nationalism/alt right/alt lite/far right belief systems. The government isn't going to act, so we MUST. 1/
1. Make time to meaningfully connect with your children. It's MORE important than any household chore.
2. Let their voices have agency to help create rules and how your family operates
3. Talk to them, starting very young about racial, gender, and sexuality biases.
2/
4. Support them in developing & determining who THEY want and choose to be in the world. This will likely change several times over their childhood.
5. Engage in meaningful & difficult conversations, even if you are uncomfortable or don't know what to say.

Today is #WorldKidneyDay, so here is a thread about living on #dialysis & #OrganDonation. My name is Belinda Otas. I’m #African. I’m #Nigerian. I'm #Benin. I’m #British & I’m #Black. Beyond the nationalities or passports with my name, I also believe in our shared humanity.
I was 16, when I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF.) I had no idea what was happening to me because at the time, it made no sense. However, I remember the pain of that period like noonday. I lived on dialysis until i was 22. #dialysis #OrganDonation #renalhealth
It took over my teenage years. I don’t remember having much of a life as a teenager because dialysis was 3x a week & every session was 4hrs. Add the time it takes to recover from being exhausted by the process, my day was pretty much over. #dialysis #OrganDonation #renalhealth
