You are so welcome! 💜 This was the best day of my life — no shade intended to my future wife, should I ever marry.

Mothers are not walking stereotypes who exist to perform & teach domestic labour, they are complex human beings with a variety of skills and interests. This essentialist take is profoundly insulting to women — and men who live outside the parameters of conventional masculinity.

Thanks sister

This is me & my 9th grade English teacher Mrs. Rubinstein, who taught us Shakespeare, Mishima, The Odyssey & sci-fi Wayne Valley High School 📚 I didn’t expect to see her in the audience at watchungbooksellers but she was very proud to hear about my second novel. I had a lot to thank her for ❤️

“You give so much as a trustee, and the very best thing you get back is hearing that a woman is safe.” One of the most moving truths of the day from Sikh Womens Aid at Womens Resource Centre #Collaborate4Change

Our panel discussion has begun!

We’ll be discussing what collaborative leadership means to us all.

Thrilled to be in London for Womens Resource Centre’s Women’s Sector Leadership Conference, in a room full of feminists. “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” — June Jordan #Collaborate4Change

.Vivienne Hayes points out that if we can’t work together collaboratively, letting go of the idea of being right all the time and instead learning together, in 30 years our daughters will still be talking about how many women are raped and murdered every year. #Collaborate4Change

“None of us is singular in what we are doing. We are not working alone.” Feminist leadership is by definition collaborative. Our movement is built on collaboration across generations. Women you work with daily, and women you will never meet. — Purna Sen, #Collaborate4Change

.Purna Sen invites us to consider what it means to be feminist before defining leadership. Analysis of power, discrimination, and inequality must be the starting point; identifying forms of structural inequality and challenging them. #Collaborate4Change

Huge thanks to Womens Resource Centre for organising the 'Collaborative Change' event - a celebration of collaborative leadership for social change & diverse styles of women leaders.

Our #FiLiA trustees are there & the room is packed & buzzing!

Most academic institutions have, for most of their existence, explicitly excluded women. Was that a joke that oversensitive women have just taken the wrong way?

It is always an incredible privilege to hear Rahila Gupta speak, taking a global perspective on sisterhood. “Talking about equality between women and men has become mainstream, but an unfinished project within feminism is equality between women.” #Collaborate4Change

Inspirational speech from Esuantsiwa Goldsmith about collaborative feminist leadership, reminding women that “we are from a proud and long line of women activists,” celebrating an intergenerational & ongoing women’s liberation movement. #Collaborate4Change

'While incels hate all women, they specifically dehumanize women of color and see them in both racist and sexist terms. They reduce them to their genitalia or seeing them as 'whores' that are sexually available to many men.” psypost.org/2023/06/analys…

I'm always amazed and delighted by the directions our conversations take. Today, after reflecting on Ash's mum's cooking, opinion was split on whether carrots belong in bolognese sauce. 🥕

What do you think? Carrots are...

Thanks so much to all the women who participated in our discussion of Afterlove, by Tanya Byrne Updates (She/Her). It was great to see both new and familiar faces! And to hear your opinions on this incredible story. 💜📖
