Hello people, I know it's been more than a minute here. I've been working on a new manuscript which is why I have been MIA. We'll discuss that another time.
Today, I am calling for submissions for an anthology that I am collating to represent and tell the stories of women, disabled and queer people's participation and involvement in the #EndSars protests.
protests.
I think of it as my own little contribution towards the creation of a better Nigeria that is inclusive of everybody.
We cannot deny the active participation of these groups of people in the movement and how much their weight has helped push forward the agenda of a better Nigeria.
However, we cannot also deny that women have been harassed and molested during protests, queer people have been shamed and assaulted into silence and the voices of disabled people have been ignored or taken less seriously than others and yet, we are all victims of police…
…brutality and bad governance in Nigeria.
This is an opportunity to tell our stories and have our voices heard however we want.
