Super Ladies??

An old edition of Witness, documenting the lives, struggles and successes of Ugandan female rally drivers. Personally, this is not for me but if it works for them and they are enjoying it and in so doing, are breaking the norm, why not?

Who Cares About Maternal Mortality?

Motherhood is supposed to a joyful experience but for many women that reality often comes with its own pain. The kind you cannot explain and one that can never be erased.

The Power of The Pen

For as long as I can remember, authoritarian and repressive governments have always been afraid of writers and their pens. The might of the pen goes beyond the creation of creative and rhythmical prose on the page. It also provokes the masses and maybe, individuals, who for had issues with what they see happening around them but did not have the voice to express themselves and take action.

African Woman by Becca

I love the song and the words are apt when we talk about celebrating the African Woman. As an artist, Becca just made her way into my heart. I admire the natural setting of the video and the beauty that radiates from it. Enjoy!

Women hold the key to strong communities/societies but I am yet to figure out, why they are still widely marginalised and mistreated?

The Pain and Shame of A Taboo Most Personal

How can we address the issue of mental health if there are people who are yet to get the most basic of healthcare? How many mental health specialists do we have? How many mental health counselors, consultants, hospitals and experts can we boast of? When we start asking and answering these questions, then we can talk about solutions and address this malaise which is not specific to Kenya but the continent as a whole.

HIV/Aids Is Not A Curse!

They say you never know what it is like to live in the shoes of an individual with no legs until you lose yours. It is always so much easier to judge, criticise and give advice but when its your turn, you have no idea what to do with yourself. I agree with Sawo Awoke that HIV is not a curse. It is a medical condition which needs medical attention.

Inspiration From South Africa

I don’t know about you but I prefer good news to bad news. The news media may specialise in telling the world bad news about Africa but CNN with its programme, Inside Africa does a great job with its coverage of the continent.

Nollybooks: Let’s Get Reading Again

It is rather sad that the idea of reading is still relegated to school days. When you stop reading, you stop learning. The statistics in this report are disappointing and it is really shameful that people don't feel the need to read anymore...

Nawal el-Saadawi On The Role of Women In Egypt’s Revolution

In this edition of Riz Khan, from Al Jazeera, el-Saadawi describes herself as a radical feminist. I find that description very interesting as someone who so far, refuses to use the word feminist to describe myself. I am a huge proponent of equality and believe without a shadow of doubt that men, women, boys and girls are equal from the boardroom to the bedroom.

Getting Endowed In All The Wrong Places

we must look inward and ask, what kind of craziness we have bought into which is costing our babies their value, self worth and lives? This is not beauty. It is the death of all things natural. Embrace and take steps to enhance yourself in ways that add to you but before you do so, count the cost to yourself and those around you.

Empowering Women, Empowering Our Communities

One woman can change anything but many women can change everything...There is something about the economic empowerment of a woman which changes the dynamics of her destiny and those around her. When a woman can afford to do what she wants with her life and contribute to her society, you can be assured that more people stand to gain and have a better life because of her.

Who Were Fela’s Women?

The fact that a woman was so fearless and on a mission, and no one was going to stop her as she was very much of the Malcolm X philosophy – by any means necessary. You fight for what you believe in even if it means jail or death – I think for a man to hear that from a woman, who knew what she was about and believed in it with every fibre of her being, especially as it is the kind of thing, he would have expected another man to tell him, changed everything for him...
