First: Read this feature on @SiphileleNM and the important work she wants to do re: designing spaces in African cities that encourage inclusivity and mental wellbeing.
Then: go support her GoFundMe campaign to help her take up her place at @RCA --> https://t.co/5ONJUWlX33 https://t.co/9rrqeveh8L

A court in Kenya is set to rule on a landmark case tomorrow that could decriminalize homosexuality. Gay people in Kenya face 14 years in prison under colonial-era laws. 530+ people were arrested for same-sex relations between 2013-2017 alone.

How stupid is it that while going through a mandatory unpaid internship, an equipment failure completely outside of his control could cost Zion part of his future.

While arresting #FreeMaryamAwaisu, the police attempted to gain access to her laptop and mobile phone by force; this is clearly an effort to access the sensitive evidence she and other human rights defenders have been gathering to seek justice for victims of sexual violence.

Just because I’m attracted to men doesn’t mean I have to like them.

“Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.” #MLK #MLK90

The day a girl is married, her entire future is compromised, yet 125 MILLION girls are married before 18 in Africa. Will you take a stand with us to #EndChildMarriage?

@Sips_Q_O_E It might happen! There is hope 😬

So happy to see this getting international attention! #JusticeForRapeInNigeria

[OkayAfrica @OkayAfrica]

Several vocal Nigerians have taken to social media to demand that two young men, accused of drugging and raping a 23-year-old woman on camera, in the Lekki area of Lagos State, be brought to justice immediately.

#NIGERIA: Over 120 people #killed by #bandits, #kidnappers and security forces in #Zamfara, #Katsina and #Sokoto states in Jan 2019. A growing nightmare for residents of Nigeria's NW zone. But getting no mention by candidates and parties, in their debates or campaign rallies!

I've been a little low on energy and general good vibes lately, so I wanted to share my current non-US music faves that help me dance my demons out at the end of each day.
