Ending the year with the launch of our feminist library, with 80 books written primarily by African and black feminists. We hope to grow & turn this into a resource center with time, but for now, the books will be accessible in our office for those who would like to borrow #SSOT

My people the practice of inheriting your father’s wife need to stop ASAP. This practice is unethical in all aspects 🙏🙏.

We continue to scam children to call their biological father uncle🤔🤔🤔. The trauma children born from wife inheritance go through?.
