Shahed Ezaydi, Minna Salami

Reclaiming Feminism

Age restriction notice: 12+ only

Description

What happens when feminism excludes the very women it claims to liberate? In this powerful conversation, Minna Salami (Can Feminism Be African?) and Shahed Ezaydi (The Othered Woman) explore the erasures, assumptions, and possibilities at the heart of global feminist discourse.  

 Drawing on African political philosophy, lived experience, and intersectional critique, they unpack how feminism can become a tool of dominance — and how it might be reimagined through radically inclusive lenses.  

From the politics of selfhood to the violence of white feminism, this is an urgent dialogue about power, plurality, and the futures feminism must confront.
