To Viola
In the closing scene of the fourth episode of How to Get Away with Murder, Viola Davis' character Annalise Keating removes her wig, eyelashes and wipes away her makeup, staring at herself in the mirror. This powerful scene has stayed with me ever since...
To Viola, As I write these lines, Shame courses through my veins, Clawing beneath my skin Sending my heart into a frenzied dance How do I articulate the sensation Of witnessing your revelation? Bare. You stood before us Stripped of the armor The façade we so carefully craft It felt like stumbling upon A hidden wound A stranger’s nakedness, The discomfort, the shock Of recognizing…

Some books from my nonfiction collection, and I just ordered two more 👀 Today has been such a weird day. I woke up feeling really motivated to do some Master’s prep, but I soon got really anxious and I lost motivation for everything. Nothing on youtube interested me, netflix wasn’t working (and nothing looked interesting), no books were I interesting me, so I just started at the wall 🥲 Do you have these meh days, too? How do you deal with them? Let me know 😊 #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #nonfictionreads #books #bookstagram #bookpile #feministreads #tonimorrison #hoodfeminism #essaycollection #ariellevy #rulesdontapply #roxanegay #badfeminist #feministsdontwearpink https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJulc0L188/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy International Women’s Day! 💪 I thought this little gem of a book was perfect to celebrate and remember that like our sisters in the 1950s, women are still facing discrimination. With retro illustrations, Career Girls gives all too real tales of the gender pay gap, working moms, and the inequality women face at work. I got this lovely cross stitch kit from @cotton_clara as part of my February #booksthatmatterukbox 🌈 I plan to hang this in my library as a reminder to read more women! • • #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #readwomen #internationalwomensday #bookish #bibliophile #booknerd #strongwomen #whywestillneedfeminism #bookphoto #bookphotography #booksandfeminisim #careergirlsbook #feministreads #evavsthealgorithm https://www.instagram.com/p/B9eORUKgdVe/?igshid=4chnaqutc7h6

Happy Monday bookworms! Today I am proudly showing off the July box from @booksthatmatteruk ! I adore the BTM team and wholly believe in what they do! The theme for July is ECOFEMINISM and today is the last day to grab a box! I was thrilled to discover I had never seen the book before and the goodies included are perfect! I can finally try a shampoo bar, something I’ve been wary of trying on my hair (from @hairyjayne ), and the rainbow straw from @sugarandsloth is perfect! There is also a eco fashion guide from @revival.collective and some wild flower seeds 💕 . #booksthatmatter #ecofeminism #femalempowerment #diversereads #diversitymatters #feminism #femninist #writersofcolour #subscriptionbox #subbox #bookishbox #feministreads #bookworm #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #fullybooked #hairyjayne #sugarandsloth #revivalcollective (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8y2tTggxb/?igshid=1g5tqhbajuuw9

Today's entry of #SJComix365 is "Comics for Choice", an anthology of comics about abortion, edited by two awesome women cartoonists, Whit Tayler (Ghost Stories, Adventure Time) and Hazel Newlevant (Sugartown, Chain Mail Bikini). As this fundamental reproductive right continues to be stigmatized and jeopardized, over sixty artists and writers have created comics that boldly share their own experiences, and educate readers on the history of abortion, current political struggles, activism, and more. Lawyers, activists, medical professionals, historians, and abortion support volunteers have teamed up with cartoonists and illustrators to share their knowledge in a visually striking and accessible format. ✨ #abortion #womenscomics #feministcomics #feministreads #womenshistory #abortionhistory #abortion101 #comics #graphicnovels #anthology #comicsforchoice #IWD https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_hzPTglZq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wk36fczu1s95

If you’re sensitive to any kind of genital chat, look away now. Wait. Why are you looking in the first place? 😂 My Broken Vagina is the book I never thought I needed. It’s a frank, thought-provoking and interesting discussion about problems that the author has experienced and in general, how we need to de-mystify important topics like female sexual health. ⁣ ⁣ From my own experience, I’ve always found it difficult to talk about issues “down there.” It’s seen as a bit taboo, embarrassing and don’t even get me started about trying to go and see a male GP about it - I’ve never felt as if I’m ever being really listened to or taken seriously. ⁣ ⁣ My Broken Vagina is the voice women need to reassure them that what they are experiencing is not all in their head, dirty or wrong and it’s a real shame that women are made to feel this way in the first place. The author, Fran Bushe (excellent surname!) writes candidly and openly about her own struggles which includes pain that she experiences when she has sex. Shockingly, she’s been told to “have a glass of wine to loosen up,” or that “maybe she hasn’t found the right penis yet.” Additionally, she has discussions with well-meaning male friends or men she dates/meets who all insist that their penis may be the one to “fix her.”⁣ ⁣ I loved everything about this book. It made me feel more normal, more “seen” and it was fascinating to read the interview excerpts from other women which only solidified the feeling that I wasn’t alone. The Broken Vagina is a perfect mix of humour, fact and self-care for any and everyone. You’re going to have to read the Sex Camp chapter (yes, it’s a thing!) to believe it! I really think that all genders or those who identify as non-binary could get so much out of this book and I hope that they finish it feeling like I do - better informed, relieved and empowered. ⁣Thank you so much to @andshe.reads and @emmasbookishcorner for a brilliant buddy read! ⁣ Five glorious stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #bookreview #bookrecommendation #bookreviewer #fivestarread #fivestarreview #mybrokenvagina #franbushe #femalesexualhealth #feministreads #mustrreads #nonfictionthatmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCDnFFrpys/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Made a stack today for the cover photo of a new feminist book club I’m trying to get started on Facebook. (Yes, my whole life is books.) This is only a partial stack, but I like this picture. . . #feministbooks #feministreads #genderstudies #feministnonfiction #trainwreck #sadydoyle #margaretsanger #ellenchesler #scummanifesto #valeriesolanas #ninepartsofdesire #geraldinebrooks #feminismisforeverybody #bellhooks #thefemininemystique #bettyfriedan #virginityordeath #kathapollitt

A "scholasticide" has been happening in Haiti
I published my first piece for the diaspora column of Stabroek news, a Guyanese newspaper. In it, I talked of the systemic destruction of education in Haiti, driven not only by recent gang attacks on schools but also by a history of social inequality.

I’m hoping to start reading Hood Feminism in the next few days (hopefully tonight, fingers crossed). I only have one section of Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay left, but I’m not really in the mood to read culture and media specific essays, so other set of feminist essays it is ✌🏻 Have you read Hood Feminism? What did you think? #hoodfeminism #feministnonfiction #feministreads #nonfiction #essaycollection #bookstagram #books #readnonfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQ3ZCYrLv7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Book #43 of 2018 gets its own special shout-out. I read The Power start to finish over less than 24 hours, and rarely have I experienced a novel like it. It’s been on my list since it came out, and I knew I would like it, but I certainly didn’t expect to have quite the intense reaction I did— I truly felt the power coursing through me! Definitely one of my top reads of 2018. #bookstagram #librarianlife #feministreads

✨Book Review-Dear Madam President✨ Happy Sunday bookworms! I finished Dear Madam President by Jennifer Palmieri earlier in the week but with the nerves of this past week, I couldn’t find the words for a review. Given the results of yesterday now feels like perfect timing to post about this book 💙 this was also my first read for my #expatsnonficnovember readathon, “read an inspirational book!” Palmieri writes an open letter to women which is part political memoir and part feminist inspiration. She Looks back at the 2016 election as part of the Clinton campaign team as she experienced it. She also looks at the strong women in her life and how they’ve inspired her. It was an emotional read thinking back to 4 years ago but also inspirational as Palmieri encourages women to change the rules and speak up. She also addresses the reader as Madam President which I thought was amazing! The book also focuses on misogyny within the political sphere (and other fields which are overwhelmingly male) and what female candidates face. The book was short but in those few pages, Palmieri was truly inspiring and made me tear up a few times. Now we get our first female VP and woman of color, Kamala Harris, so it was actually perfect timing to read it during election week 💙👏🏻 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Triggers: Cancer, Alzheimers, loss of loved ones/death • QOTD what are you currently reading? • • #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #bookish #bibliophile #bookcommunity #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookreview #bookrecommendation #politicalbooks #memoir #politicalmemoir #feministreads #nonfictionnovember #novemberreads #dearmadampresident #jenniferpalmieri https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVZiIxg0IP/?igshid=6x4690v22ece
