I learnt that politics is a dish I love to eat… No one is going to make the world what I want to make it to be, unless I do it myself. - Stella Nyanzi

For many women, there is a great cost to pay, to challenge the status quo, because they benefit from it. Their children benefit from it. Doing the sort of activism that I do, threatens to take away from one’s status, or privilege, or wealth, or whatever it is they benefit from.

I think if I weren’t a mother, I probably wouldn’t do at least ¾ of the activism I’ve done.

In my experience, there is much greater currency and power in my deployment of irreverent idioms of satire, mockery, and ridicule of oppressive power.
