As #Afrifem we often say that "we stand on the shoulders of giants". How much do we actually know about our #feminist foremothers? The question came as I read @EverjoiceWin's moving obituary for Mabel Moyo. May she rest in power.

To be young, gifted, Black and #feminist in #Russia... Whew. Read about Maria Magdalena Tunkara, a 22-year-old Russian-Malian woman who wont't apologize for telling the truth about #racism in her country. A powerhouse.

There's much more to Ugandan climate activist @vanessa_vash than the fact that she was cropped out of a photo earlier this year. I enjoyed this interview she gave Angelina Jolie in @TIME, but I want to hear more. (Adding to my interview bucket list 🤞🏾)

I have a list of Black women I don't know but worry about often because of the shit they have to go through every day just for speaking their minds or doing their jobs. @DawnButlerBrent is one of them. I hope she can access healing spaces of sisterhood.

#Feminist movements must do better by #Afrifems who don't speak English. Read this piece by LBQ activist Emma Onekekou about what it's like to navigate #Afrifem gatherings as a Francophone participant. Published and translated by @ISDAOSankofa.
