Too much to ask for one interview a day? Haha!
Really enjoyed reading this one too. So many things to reflect on, as well, and great notes on organizing beyond online spaces. Check it out! https://twitter.com/saalajeng/status/1262626151870201856">https://twitter.com/saalajeng...

“It was from documenting my own thoughts that led me to really learn more about the issues I was covering and why the situation was the way it is beyond official explanations.”
“I was able to learn more from people that have long theorized issues that I was trying to understand or thought I understood.”
“The coverage of African women in the mainstream media continues to be lacking and often problematic. Most Africans still learn about the other parts of the continent through information produced via western media.”
“We also notice that we have great African feminist academic work but we still lack the bridges to bring it down to ordinary women and girls, to relate their experiences to the larger systems in which we live.”
“Young women are increasingly exerting pressure on societies that never guaranteed their grandmothers and mothers certain rights and the online world has helped give them a collective sense that you are here, you are human enough...”
“Our own dominant popular histories erase women’s work, women’s brilliance, and achievements, with the digital we can, in real time, seek out the stories both past and present and take part in writing our herstories.”

“We must not stop at online presence, we must meet, we must emote in person, we must mobilize together offline too. We must be able to visit Dr. Stella Nyanzi in jail or show up for solidarity in court. We can’t only remain as online figures.”
Love this! Especially on striving to go beyond acceptance of the other.
“A feminist life is one that requires self-reflection, knowing your privilege and constantly trying to make room for others to come to the table, whichever I am able to access.”

Really great perspectives here. (I need to catch up on the first 2 that I missed).
