Swahili Feminist Principles of the Internet
This beautifully illustrated document represents personal fulfillment and joy for me because the process of its translation was community centred and created a great sense of love and solidarity.
In Swahili we say “Karibuni” to welcome people! So karibuni to my playlist!!! My name is DJ Viv from Kenya. I enjoy the stillness of nature, the love and solidarity of the feminist community that I’ve found across regions , Dido’s music…(Highly recommend) and can occasionally be found providing legal opinions on things. I have created this playlist for you all, with all my love and picked resources from different parts of Africa that I identify with in a way, that I have learnt from and that have fueled my feminist spirit to keep organizing. I hope we can talk about them, and I hope they inspire something in you too. Feel free in this space and WELCOME!!

I wrote this to hold space for feminists organizing on digital platforms, and to allow ourselves to have a vision of a feminist Internet and build collectivism to actualize this vision.

I loved this because it affirmed the need for having connected movements to end NCII because our stories are different, yet so similar.
