Self Care and Collective Well-being
Perfect for listening, pausing and engaging in self-reflection on exactly what type of self-care practise would work for you.
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!!

Selecting this because it energized me to keep organizing, and ground my life on feminist practise. I hope it inspires everybody else too, in different ways, but especially to set us on a path of resistance.
