We often talk about how repressive major social media platforms owned by far-right billionaires are. But how can we reimagine beyond these spaces? What does a feminist digital world look like and who gets to build it? Ann Daramola is reimagining technology with Pariwo.

Feminist movements have repeatedly created "figures of trouble" across history whose exclusion becomes seen as necessary to legitimize the movement. While the patriarchy launches "saving" women projects — dehumanization disguised as solidarity that reinforces the very structures oppressing us all.

In honor of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, I wrote this article for republic.com.ng, exploring how African feminist thought invites us to question what it means to be a "feminist human" in an anti-rights era.

In Chicago for African Studies Association with my mama 💫
I freedom-dreamed an African feminist land & oceanic decolonial critique of Big Tech's digital colonialism, the slavery codes of Google's Equiano subsea cable & African bodies remaining still scripts for data and digital labor exploitation.

I had an incredible long weekend at UC Davis with the Imagining America staff, PAGE co-directors, my incredible cohort and the undergrad fellows!

Public/Scholar is the most important site of liberation and this weekend was so generative. I felt so well taken care of 💖

Exciting update! I've been selected as an @ImaginingAmer Publicly Active Graduate Education (PAGE) Fellow! It's a dream to collaborate with this brilliant cohort of publicly engaged scholars as we envision an academy in service of our communities✨

For The Republic Nigeria, I wrote about why a decolonial African feminism matters. From our pre-colonial ideas on gender to today’s tech exploitation, we must build lifelines for our futures from the legacies of our foremothers. Read my/our manifesto: republic.com.ng/february-mar...

With a particular emphasis on how the virtual backstabbing of anti-feminist clusters online mirror/ justify/reinforce the Nigerian state's punishment, active surveillance, internet shutdowns, passport seizures, and abuse of power towards Nigeria's feminist political subjects.

How do we use digital tools to answer humanities questions on the digital that would otherwise be too "cumbersome...without
computational assistance"? (S.
Jackson et al).

I show how we might engage a contextual feminist/computational approach to policom on Nigerian Twitter

So I won the BGSU Grad College Distinguished Thesis Award, for my thesis on the hashtags & networks of feminist & queer justice during #EndSARS! 🥹 @cyberdivalive.bsky.social is the best advisor ever. And I’m truly honored that the work to bring these herstories to life won an award! bit.ly/42B7lLj

Not the same context but Linda Tuhiwai-Smith shared an incredible thought in this regard, and her words couldn't be truer
