BARUA YA BARAZA: Love and Solidarity
Greetings, friends:
This week’s newsletter is continuing the tradition of inviting members of our community to write From The Curator’s Desk, and for this edition, I’m happy to hand it over to Scheaffer Okore, feminist politician and global development strategy advisor in governance, leadership, and sexual reproductive health rights.
Please send your guest writing pitches for this section to chris@barazalab.com if you’re interested in being our guest curator on the newsletter, and you have something of interest to share to our community — a trend you’ve noticed or something you’d like us to think about.

It has and continues to be physically, mentally and spiritually draining to demand for better governance and accountability. We must remember our bodies are fragile and need care, and that none of us can do this alone. I’d love to share some ways of ensuring this moment doesn’t break us beyond repair. I had these graphics commissioned as a way to capture what it takes to live – and not just fight – in a time of revolution. This is just a snippet, you can find the full set of graphics on my Twitter/X handle, @scheafferoo.
With love and in solidarity,
Scheaffer Okore
