Grateful to @aljazeera.com for letting me share my thoughts on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and how identity should not be weaponised.

Zohran Mamdani cannot be boxed in
Attempts to weaponise his identity are a classic example of the colonial divide-and-rule tactic.

Thank goodness for @sabrinamahtani.bsky.social - read her good reminder that humanity identity and origin can no longer be readily boxed into convenient colonial packages. And nor should we. @aljazeera.com #racialidentity #apartheid

🤔 How can we reduce the harmful impacts of women imprisonment from a global POV?

💡 An upcoming #CSW69 side event will highlight the links between poverty & the scale of the problem for incarcerated women & innovative solutions that UN Member States can adopt.

Hello @bsky.app community! Looking forward to connecting with old friends, allies and co-conspirators who care about gender justice (and perhaps books, fashion and Afrobeats) and making new connections. I wear many hats and one that is close to my heart is @women-beyond-walls.bsky.social

An image of a realistic looking woman's arm reaching out, palm facing upwards, as a Bluesky blue butterfly emblazoned with a Women Beyond Walls logo flies out of her hand. There are also a number of other small colourful butterflies and collage-book style flowers on the graphic. The background is a bold and energetic orange with a green circle framing the image of the arm and butterflies.
