African feminism that is obsessed with excess, success and degrees.

And that is what emerges, as a result of the institutionalization of feminism or better yet women’s empowerment as it emerges via ngos, women’s ministries and even academia.

very clear that it’s success/proximity to power that is the currency in these spaces; that opposition to power and the forwarding of EVERYDAY strategies, discourses, generation of community power that take us closer to liberation are a secondary commitment, if ever considered

I can’t even call it respectability. It is capitalism and imperialism organizing many African feminist agendas and everyday that contradiction is unfolding even more.

It’s not only shameful, it’s dangerous and truly that type of feminism is irrelevant
