Your silence will not protect you. audre lorde #SaloneX

Never would I have thought that critical thinking would still be received as such a threat in my country & tbh, I’m still processing the silencing of my voice by the ruling elite. One thing is for sure: it can’t silence me bc how can a writer be silent? #SierraLeone #SaloneX

I’ve read so much on narratives of marginalized voices and visual story making in the past months that I feel I need to load another compartment in my brain to continue storing what I am now learning in the process of shifting the gaze in story telling/ production.

Just bc there are realities you don’t know exist & points of view you’ve never heard, doesn’t mean they’re not real. It just means you’ve been so privileged that all you’ve heard has been the dominant voice & that loud homogeneity cannot equip you for life’s diverse possibilities

Incredibly grateful to be in Kathmandu. I’ll be giving a talk on #inclusivestorytelling for the UNICEF South Asia amazing storytellers! 🎥 👩🏾‍💻 Can’t wait to be in dialogue with everyone!

At Haus of Salone: we don’t ignore what happens to our people. For Sia and all the girls and women victims of domestic violence who remain nameless, we remain enraged. 🖤 🕊️ Rest in power. #SaloneX #Salonetwitter #Freetownstories

I know i keep saying im grateful… but what can I say: I am grateful for the learnings! Always. Period. 🤲🏾
