I have been a victim of bad legislation and I want to change it. I want to make legislation that's for the people. - Stella Nyanzi

I feed my children with takeout, once in a while, and sometimes we even buy street food. But ‘a good woman’ doesn’t do that, for example. These stereotypes trap us, and they make us feel like failures if we cannot meet these very high standards.

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

When I die, I hope my children will be proud of me as a woman who at least tried to change things, instead of just waiting for the dictator to die.
