These amazing women are street vendors from Acholi quarters in Kampala, Uganda during a Feminist Healing and Personal Safety camp , August 2019. Their work usually involves early mornings, long days and late nights peddling food and wares  around the city.

We always have so much fun teaching women of all ages self defense.The sheer joy on their faces as they learn little tricks to get away from assailants.We love you so much women vendors of Uganda.

Our women's gym taught us everything that we needed to know about hosting healing spaces for women. Our amazing clients taught us how to curate spaces feministly by telling us when our trainers were acting foolish. Our survival on the worst business plan on earth taught us our resilience. Now that we are getting ready to open a feminist, intersectional gym (open to all but cisgender men) our excitement cannot be matched. Watch this space, we're cooking feminist goodness for you loves. #womensgym #fitcliqueafrica #radicalrealities https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfWR83nK6v/?igshid=16ylzsgid2amp

FitcliqueAfrica’s founder Mildred dispels the common thinking among her peers that Depression is so “Un-African” In this talk she reveals how unrealistic you may be branded if you ever mentioned being depressed; yet many continue to suffer silently. We can all do something about it!

A prayer to all the Ugandan girls and women who have become ancestors ahead of their time. Who have been plucked from their root and discarded in the soils of innocent gardens by murderers and kidnappers. We mourned you last Saturday. We marched weeping for you. We screamed for your lives and ours. We remember you. #FitcliqueAfrica #Gardenfeminist #Millionwomenmarchug #Endthekillings #protectwomennow

Salutations and blessings to all fathers who encourage their girls to question. To wonder. To debate, even argue! To insist on an explanation, and to take the time they need. Raise your girls to engage the world as actively as your boys. Prepare them for a world that will test their will and boundaries the moment their puberty sets in. A happy father's day to all Feminist fathers #hidaddy!, all daddies who have no trouble mummying, all queer daddies and enthusiastic single dads. A happy father's day to men who only discovered feminism when they had their first daughter. Lolz! Welcome to the club.
