[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

[Judicaelle Irakoze @Judicaelle_]

I am actually very hopeful for the African continent. We have a young, very informed and educated generation. They are aware, and they critically think.

That alone is enough to always push for change

@__Floww what??? I’m sitting in here right now 🫠

[Goddess Graveyard Punany✨ @xm_muva]

One thing I'm never going to wrap my head around as a black person/woman, is how white people carry more empathy for dogs/animals than they do me, and anyone who looks like me - even my children. It's this deep resentment I've never articulated, but living in a system that makes it clear a dog/animal's life is more valued than your own? It fucks with you.

[em ay @Ada_Wanjiru]

It enrages me that white people colonized the world to treat other human beings like service animals. The lack of community rots some of y’all’s brains from the inside out. No sense of being a villager. Disgusting.

Everything about this should be studied.

the mega insta celebs all went really simple with their Coachella fits this year while the rest of the girlies were stressed about having the perfect chella look.

@unrulyfatblack @StephanieYeboah this is so specific and ACCURATE 🤣🤣🤣

[Bella @NYsBella]

This is so infuriating because then they’ll turn around and tell you that black people own nothing because we dont make the right investments meanwhile theyre literally stealing from us. This should be bigger news & all of the black people in powerful positions should step in

[Sassington, M.C. @MissSassbox]

this might seem unrelated & small in comparison to a Walk of Fame Star, but MY GOD what Brandy did for the revolution & evolution of braids is not to be left out of her legacy.

This album actually being one of the best things to ever happen in the history of Ever

[Nasty African Girl @SunBirdZAKH]

imagine hearing a huge crowd chanting your name and it’s also one of the first times you yourself are hearing it said properly by those who know what it means? i’d cry for 40 days and 40 nights over this kind of long overdue homecoming shuuu 🥺🥺🥺🥺

It's day 6 of me sharing African women who shaped the social and political fabric of our continent yet you may or may not know about them.

Today, I am talking about Field Marshal Muthoni Kirima. One of the women who fought in the Mau Mau rebellion for independence of Kenya.

In 2018 in Nairobi through a friend, I met Muthoni who narrated to us her story in the forest part of the rebellion that cost the British Empire millions and millions of pounds until they granted Kenya's independence.

When Muthoni was narrating her story to us, she mentioned other women who were in the forest in the Mau Mau rebellion such as Wamuyu Gakuru, Grace Nyaguthii, and Njoki Waicere. One could never imagine what it means to be a woman in a rebellion while also surviving patriarchal violence from the same comrades.

Muthoni passed away in 2023 angry that in all the narrated stories about the Mau Mau rebellion, women were omitted or not celebrated as their male counterparts meanwhile the women were the heart of the movement. They carried information, mobilized, fundraiser, grabbed arms while also carrying the domestic work.

I carry Muthoni's anger today and the anger of all the women who dared, who organized, who worked and laid their entire lives for their nations and yet their contributions often erased.
