I am inspired by the different ways that women stand up for themselves, and are constantly navigating through the waters of patriarchal traditions to take up space.

I am inspired by successful women who do things that were previously only done by men; women who can create and succeed and who are confident

I am inspired by a lot of women who have come before me. I am inspired by people who had been told they couldn’t do something but pushed through and overcame it.

The strength of women continues to inspire me.

I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and the courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words.

To every woman rising above the tradition of silence, walking tall in a marginalized system…May we be them; may we know them, may we birth them… We’ve got the power?

feminists are “just women who don’t want to be treated like shit.

I am a feminist. I reject wholeheartedly the way we are taught to perceive women. The beauty of women, how a woman should act or behave. Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft-spoken and loud, all at once. There is something mind-controlling about the way we're taught to view women. My work, both visually and musically, is a rejection of all those things. And most importantly a quest.

Women are meant to be loved and not understood.

As African women, we don’t have to live up to other people’s expectations. We too can question the status quo

Ten thousand women marched through the streets shouting, 'We will not be dictated to,' and went off and became stenographers.

Feminism...is not 'women as victims' but women refusing to be victims.

I must confess that I too am a woman and that I am always prepared to applaud a woman who is more daring than I, and is equal to a man in fighting for freedom of behavior.

Being a bold woman means standing firm in your purpose despite challenges.
