#ROADFEMME update 📰📰📰 issue 003 - stay true Thank you to everyone who submitted, received so many pieces from contributors all over the world 😊 Unfortunately I cannot print everything 😢 The importance of me doing ROADFEMME is to be able to share real honest storytelling on topics and themes people don’t often delve into. It’s grown so much from a blog to a 20 page newspaper and now it’s 36 pages!! ONWARDS AND UPWARDS. I’d like to thank @southbankcentre for always supporting via #wowldn and the feminist library for archiving our issues and being a source of inspo! #003StayTrue (at #STAYTRUE)

I’m reminded of this by Uncle Stokely. _ More than 30 PEACEFUL protestors have been arrested in #Ferguson including Deray McKesson, Johnetta Elzie & Cornel West. _ You can support by demanding their immediate release!! St.Louis County Jail: 314-615-5245 & U.S. Attorney’s Office: 314-539-2200 _ #BlackLivesMatter #FreeDeray #FreeNetta #FreeCornelWest #StokelyCarmicheal ❤️

🔊❤️👑 #NinaSimone 👑❤️🔊 It was seen as remarkable back then and still is remarkable today, for a black woman to proudly claim both her blackness and her womanhood, and to tell the world that she not only deserved to get hers but fully intended to do so. The documentary poses important questions while reexamining her life through photos, interviews, and personal letters. What was evident to me and empowering, was that regardless of her troubles she never doubted her talent, never denied her own power, and never shied away from asserting what it meant to be a black woman, even if it made others uncomfortable. She famously said of her work: “An artist’s duty is to reflect the times.” And from the beginning of her career in the late 1950s to her death in 2003, she did just that, through her activism and her music. #WhatHappenedMissSimone #EuniceWaymon #BlackLivesMatter #CivilRightsMovement #003StayTrue (at #STAYTRUE)
