If the feminist movement is about disrupting and redistributing power to ensure equity for all, it is critical that we challenge capitalism. How has capitalism perpetuated a majority of people remaining at the bottom of the ladder, while a privileged few stay at the top?

The worst part of being an African in International Relations is hearing people talk about your home, not as a place where people live and love, but as a place where raw materials come from, a network of interests, and a blank canvas for them to project their aspirations.
"Encorajei lideranças populares sem vender ilusão. Falei abertamente sobre riscos e desafios, muito antes de cogitar que encerraria meu breve ciclo na política institucional. Foi uma entrega de peito aberto e por inteiro."
