It was such a pleasure and gift, working with the talented @vidushiy on our #FeministRealities toolkit 💕 Posted @withrepost • @vidushiy Sometimes it's simply about saying we gloriously exist says artivist Shilo Shiv Suleman and it really spoke to me while working on it. @shiloshivsuleman 's @fearlesscollective is one of the case studies discussed in our toolkit with @awidwomensrights The toolkit is now live on AWID's website and it's completely free to download and use to start creative conversations on creating Feminist realities.

This poster is entitled L’arme Décisive (The decisive weapon) and is made as a collage on paper. Shared with us by Steve Tierney from Oaxaca, Mexico who says "Turn your Fear into your Power" 

More power to all the fearless feminists out there who are dismantling power structures with their fire and activism! <3

Living outside the lines of culture and gender is learning to take ownership of both. This is about saying: I am of here, this is my heritage also, and I have as much right to be here as anyone else.

When we come across the words 'fearlessness' and 'freedom', some of the terms we associate are:

Bravery, Boldness, Courage, Equality, Love, Trust, and Respect

Those are only a few of ALL of the things fearlessness and freedom encompass. What words come to YOU when you think about fearlessness and freedom?

We would love to hear YOUR voice... Join the conversation! :)

When your body is weak And your worries are strong, When you breathe in the night Wondering if something will go wrong

Remember my child You are the stars, the moon and the sun

In the midst of your fear As you walk thru the streets, In the midst of your nervousness Searching for the path that you seek

Bathe your soul In the silver moonlight, Anoint your mind With clarity and peace

Come back to your breath As you steady your gaze, Take another firm step As you walk through the haze

When your body is weak And your worries are strong, When you breathe in the night Wondering if something will go wrong

Remember my child, You are the stars, the moon and the sun

Search for that place of stillness Deep in your soul, You can handle anything Audaciously and bold

Like the sun Rising in the horizon, Through your eyes You radiate light

For you know Love is all around you, There is nothing

To fear.
