Listen to the 2nd episode of Bantu: The African Creative Podcast - OUT NOW 👇🏾 With @nzilani Nzilani Simu! anchor.fm/bantupod/episodes/… #weareafricancreatives
This week @thecontinent_ threw all our normal rules out the window to publish this stunning 6000-word long form article on the scarcely believable rise and fall of Mike Sonko, Nairobi’s Matatu King, by @IsaacOtidiAmuke. What a read. (Illustration by the brilliant @nzilani)

@ActionAid International's General Assembly completed its 1st ever virtual AGM today. It was intense, interesting and productive. My highlight: the inspiration and challenge imparted by Medha Patkar, renowned social activist. Dhanyabaad Medha tai ji 🙏 Zindabad ✊🏼! Art: @nzilani

Our bodies are similar in some ways and different in other ways and they are all beautiful. Instead of bullying others for having different body types, we should appreciate and celebrate the diversity of our bodies. #BodyPolitics #FreeOurBodies
Our bodies are vessels which allow us to experience life in all its dimensions. When we love our bodies, our bodies flourish and give us life. #BodyPolitics

We choose to respect and care for our bodies. Our bodies belong to us and nature has given us the responsibility to take care of them. How do you care for your body? #BodyPolitics
Patriarchy reduces women to simply bodies and determines which bodies are valuable and worthy of existing in society. We reject that notion. We are more than our bodies. We are mind, spirit and soul. We each deserve to be here no what matter our body looks like. #BodyPolitics

Bodies come in different sizes, shapes and with different abilities. No one body type is “better” than the other. How do we show that we value all bodies?

Policing of women’s bodies not only affects and demeans our autonomy but also limits our life choices and opportunities. How do we reclaim our power and bodily autonomy? #BodyPolitics @EmthonjeniWomen @GCWR_Uganda @gbvafrica @FemnetProg @Cwid4Cwid @wavegambia @KenyaSRHR

In order for us as a society to end sexual violence against women, we must stop sexualizing women's bodies and we must reject any portrayals of women that objectify, degrade or diminish women’s dignity and bodies. #BodyPolitics
Your body loves you. It works very hard to protect you and to keep you alive. Please treat it with kindness and gentleness. #BodyPolitics

We are taught to say things like "female doctor", "female engineer" etc as though these occupations are for men by default and women are secondary participants. We must break away from this idea of "some jobs are for men " and "some jobs are for women". #BodyPolitics
Women have a right to autonomy whereby they have the capacity and ability to make decisions that affect the circumstances of their own lives and achieve well being, happiness and pleasure. #BodyPolitics @GCWR_Uganda @gbvafrica @ProjectalertVaw @uwonet @AchievesKe @Scoenuganda1
Women do not need to be respected and protected based on our relationship with men or our proximity to men. We are humans who are deserving of respect, dignity and protection against violence. Simple. #BodyPolitics
