This is mysogyny @SakajaJohnson . Your response to @OBurrows is that she's upset? Yes she is upset. We are all upset. PEOPLE DIED! That is upsetting. And @KoinangeJeff why are you laughing? What is funny? See how you said to move on instead of holding @SakajaJohnson accountable?

Sakaja has really pissed off Olive Burrows. Jeff wants the topic changed

Why is this mandem dressed like this?

Dear Kenyans,
If “50% women in government” makes you think “50% incompetence,” pause and ask why… that’s not logic, it’s misogyny.

Yes, patriarchy runs deep in our society; but we each have an obligation to UNLEARN.

Men will study with women in universities. Work with them in the same offices. Be in business with them.

But when they are told women can be leaders, they suddenly start claiming women are not getting there by merit. How now? Kwani those women you work with don't have merit?

Feminism isn’t about policing individual choices but interrogating the systems that shape those choices. If a woman gives up her name,religion, country and public identity all within a very short time for marriage we’re allowed to ask why that’s the expectation

In Industry season 1 there is a scene where Eric Tao a Managing Director at Pierpoint is standing in the middle of the trading floor in his boxers and they HAVE to look at him getting dressed as he ‘briefs’ the associates.

It is a very specific exercise of power.

THIS IS THAT.

I had an Indian friend in college who told me a story and casually mentioned her chauffeur. “Wait, you had a chauffeur?” “Well yeah, we pay him like $30 a week, everybody has a chauffeur.” “I don’t think so. I don’t think the chauffeur, for example, has one.” Reminds me of this.

[Martha Ahumuza @MarthaAhumuza]

I think what’s happening now is that women are finally refusing to play by the old rules rules set by a society and a system built on patriarchal silence and control. For so long women’s pain, mental health struggles and physical changes during pregnancy were either ignored or

My Sunday took me to Wangige. A good friend of mine sells some amazing Rustic Furniture. You can pass by at Family Bank, Wangige to view his work.

Choice feminism is a feminist framework that centers individual choice as the core of feminist liberation. In simple terms it means if a woman chooses something,it is inherently feminist. Whether it's becoming a stay at home wife, participating in sex work,

Chimamanda’s work was the gateway to my understanding of feminism. It gave language to things I’d always felt. But as I’ve grown, I’ve also seen the gaps and limitations in her feminism and that’s perfectly fine. I won’t pretend she doesn’t have blind spots.

This is a very interesting observation of classism in NBO. I've worked in places with offices in that area, and there tended to be a classist wall between those who lived near the office, and those who had to commute from the other side of the tracks - and this translated to how

@Kurlycheeks Where do you buy the essence glosses?

[Sammy Awami @awamisammy]

I can confirm that this is absolutely true!

Back in 2017, I produced a full radio documentary for the BBC on this issue.

What President Kagame is saying here aligns exactly with what I learned from the interviews I conducted.

On record, a Tanzanian minister stated, “We are very determined to stop the importation of second-hand clothes.” Off the record, he admitted, “This issue is simply impossible.”

Kenya explained that they benefit significantly from the AGOA deal, particularly through their flower business.

Rwanda told us they were determined to stop the importation of second-hand clothes “purely for the dignity of our people.”

President Kagame mentions that he doesn’t know who was campaigning in the U.S. against the ban. Well, I spoke to one of them.

These are some of the most powerful organizations lobbying, with their representatives working to pass these senseless laws and regulations—laws that essentially turn our countries into dumping grounds for their used clothes. And any country that refuses to comply—like Rwanda in this case—gets punished!

I often see criticism of terms like “Third World,” “Sub-Saharan Africa,” and “Global South”, but not as much explanation of why they’re problematic. Let’s explore how these labels impact the way we view the world:🧵

"V” isn’t just for violin, it is also for viatu. Popping back in here to let you know I published a kid’s book, specifically a Kiswahili ABC book 😄

This was purely about music just in case you're new here 😅. Made a playlist of Luo Musicians and Songs that I think everyone should listen to here 👇🏽👇🏽

Re-upping this reading list I made in June 2024.

It contains readings that I find essential to understanding social movements, and being a participant in them.

I know it's dense and academic, but please work through it at your own pace. It's worthwhile. https://t.co/9KOB80u69y

I have compiled a list of book recommendations for those interested in classical African literature and Africanist perspectives. I will keep adding to the list.
