1606147747463041024 | Critiques of African feminism are humorous. In my 25 years of engaging #afrifem politics I have NEVER ever discussed wearing bras or mobilised around hating men. These are *stereotypes* of white liberal feminism. We talk about economic change, ending patriarchy, food sovereignty | 407 |
1630663529010266112 | Homophobia appears on this continent in waves- always linked to either the recent presence/funding of US and European religious right groups; and/or to political/economic crises that need masking with a call for a witch hunt of minorities. Analysis by Africans over the yearsđ§” | 358 |
1626074454563463168 | Is it possible for a whole continent to be heartbroken? Everywhere you travel you ask the taxi guy, a shop assistant- how are things? In their eyes, a swelling tide. | 106 |
1620803537008721920 | African (feminist) philanthropy has a historyâŠ.. Here as three generations of senior leadership of @awdf01 -Africaâs 1st womenâs fund- and all still working in support of resourcing change. Sarah, Theo, Françoise & me. We laugh, we mobilise! đ#ReimaginingPhilanthropy #afrifem https://t.co/TRnMKYz2kt | 59 |
1634444955308490754 | Thereâs so much cruelty masquerading as moral leadership. | 57 |
1635130637425442817 | There is active violent homophobia and transphobia in âthe Westâ. Many western countries and also states in federal systems donât allow same-gender marriage or fully recognise LGBTQ rights. Thereâs more Western funding for work *against* LGBTQ rights - than for it. | 40 |
1633313217668689920 | #InternationalWomensDay began in transnational socialist feminist organising linked intimately to questions of labour/economy & collectivist praxis. Itâs a day to celebrate feminist *movements*, collective leadership & remind ourselves of the need for structural transformation | 36 |
1640731031421562881 | Just affirming that I come from a lineage of incredibly gentle women, all raised on millet and fresh milk. With feet firmly planted in the red soil of our region, my mother taught me that LOVE is how we win. Hatred is not, in my inheritance, understood to be an âAfricanâ value. | 31 |
1638427493987123201 | In any position of leadership or authority the first and most important thing is to acknowledge that you have been given the capacity- unlike most - to hurt - or to protect and support at scale. And so you MUST embrace that the most sacred principle of leadership is *do no harm* | 30 |
1613477697099034625 | How do we #BreakTheCycleOfViolence? We know from activist experience & research that it takes all dimensions- law/policy that enables peace for LGBTQ, social norms that center care& equality, individual actions that amplify love rather than hate, access to services & support | 24 |

1602880350677794816 | Since we need 365 Days of Activism to end GBV a reminder that EVERY SINGLE SEXUAL ENCOUNTER should have *active consent*. It doesnât matter if its your girlfriend, wife, someone you just met. If they donât actively say âyesâ then its a violation. No more violence. No more. | 9 |

1579565745788182528 | On #WorldMentalHealthDay am lifting up the work African feminist psych & holistic practitioners are doing to repoliticise mental health & concepts of wellbeing. Structural inequality lies at the root dis-ease, which means that justice is a remedy & collective action a therapy đ§” https://t.co/GofV5mO21y | 3 |
1601783797980467201 | The conflation of ethnic identity and geopolitical affiliation. Morocco is not âArabâ its a member of the Arab League. Morocco is (obviously) in Africa with many many many non-Arab communities including Amazigh whose presence we erase if we keep calling North Africans Arabs. | 3 |

1607226875604242432 | A cavernous analysis of AfricanâBlack Theology in memory of Rev Tutu by sis @PanasheChig & @CornelWest Explains why African theology in majority remains hesitant to step up to the work of justice-but traces seeds that exist especially as planted by Tutu. https://t.co/YhJZbCdCBB | 3 |
1623185065906667521 | Been spending time with anti-apartheid revolutionaries in South Africa and thinking about how problematic it is for us to label every small thing ârevolutionaryâ/âdecolonialâ. Honour the labour & the loss. Please, let us return to a respectfully accurate labelling of our âactsâ. | 2 |
1642524844632731650 | Total pleasure to meet @WilliamsVictorE the CEO of @NBA_Africa in Lusaka - and to realise we are both alums of @UWCUSA ! https://t.co/q6BOvVULkX | 2 |

1603657397414858753 | I yearn from a more rigorous engagement with 'African values'. It seems so inadequate to only apply the idea to deny African LGBTQ citizens rights. We always say African values=caring for each other. So where is the value-led policy on social protection & quality public services? | 2 |
