I wear lipstick, I speak like an academic, I take off my bra… and this is usually not what politicians look like. - Stella Nyanzi

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

The third layer of participation for me are women who become enablers. They are not working with, but right from the word, ‘go’, they enter politics to enable those who are oppressed, suppressed, and abused.

Custody and punishment for writing freed me of the fear I previously held of being imprisoned. Physical and emotional torture during my two terms in prison radicalized me in unexpected ways.
