“Feminism is the radical notion that women are people”

Solidarity, strategy, and shared visions are much needed to drive forward the feminist movement in Africa and South Sudan in particular.🌐

Currently, young politicians from South Sudan 🇸🇸 are exchanging in a two-day transformative workshop with other peers from African countries in Nairobi!

These passionate leaders are not just discussing the future—they're shaping it, building a network to claim their space and drive positive change across the continent. 💡

Very happy to be back behind the mic again. Tho, what times.

In the latest podcast, I speak with @JMeservey about Trump's aid cuts, why the American right soured on foreign aid, and what other surprises Trump 2.0 might have in store for Africa.

Against the backdrop of global #Multipolarity, the rise of middle powers is transforming the political landscape, especially in the #HornofAfrica. 🌍 The shifting dynamics are reshaping the region’s stability, conflict, and peace-making efforts.

I am excited to share the policy brief I developed on women’s political participation in #SouthSudan 🇸🇸 in collaboration with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES)-South Sudan @FESonline

This brief outlines key recommendations to promote greater female involvement in the “forthcoming elections” and the ongoing constitutional review process, aiming to influence a more inclusive and representative political landscape in this young nation.
