In our work as communicators and feminists, it is our duty to create a world where we bridge gaps based on our individual histories rather than create worlds where we erase the lives of the marginalized in a bid to pretend that we are all the same.

Connection can only grow when difference is honoured; when people feel seen for their unique biographies and experiences rather than flattened into an archetype based on the dominant narrative. In our work as communicators and feminists, it is our duty to create a world where we bridge gaps.

From content creators to artists to creatives, what is deemed a “standard” or “fair” rate changes the moment they realize you’re based in the Global South.

It’s unacceptable.

Check out our #tips on how to get fairly compensated for your work as #African #feminist #creatives and communicators.

As a feminist comms agency, we understand that one of the biggest challenges with day-to-day operations is budget.

Not simply the task of balancing accounts but the specific devaluation of local effort and skill when it comes to creativity.

⚡️Movement wins aren't made in a moment; they are built over time.

It takes many people, from many walks of life; activists, artists, lawyers, healers, story tellers, researchers and more all contributing in powerful ways. Each moment, each action, each voice matters.

My Journey to Justice after Forced Female Genital Mutilation - African Feminism (AF)

On a Friday in September 2016, in a small town in Kenema District, my life was changed forever. What began as a small argument over money turned into a nightmare. I went to my neighbour to follow up o...

“And here is the bitter truth: my story is not unusual. Sierra Leone has no clear laws that ban Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).”

“We are living through an extraordinary, historic deficit of collective compassion. For some, this is precisely the time to get to work. The Black Feminist Fund, an international philanthropic organisation founded in 2021, is doing just this.”

This feeds a larger injustice that contributes to the erasure of groups, people and identities.

Have you ever read or listened to a story about you, your people or people you know, and felt your “spidey senses” tingle? Like, the whole thing left you unsettled? You are not alone.

Oftentimes stories in Western media do not fully reflect the lived experiences of the people they are reporting on.

Sometimes brands center women’ issues because it is trendy.

And while we don’t fault folks for trying to engage with trends, women’s issues are deeper and more important than a social media moment.

If you create content about women, ask yourself “Is my content “giving” or “grifting”?

With the rise of social media worldwide, it’s like there are new norms and social rules emerging every day. Sometimes they’re general and we all have the tea. Other times they’re so specific we break them without even knowing.

Wanna test your “web-tiquette”?

Care as a practice, especially in an organization, can affect team happiness and protect against burnout, stress and anxiety. Some amazing organizations are practicing care in big ways, and we just have to shout them out.

Happy new month!

This is the month that we kick bad habits, and start to prioritize comms like any other arm of a brand / org. Communication is a necessary part of any brand / company / organization.

When you treat it as an afterthought, we can tell.
