Reevaluating Gender Nonconformity: A Queer Feeling Femme, A Femme Feeling Queer
Promoting African knowledge in communication studies: African feminisms as critical decolonial praxis
In this essay, I advocate for the (re)centering of African epistemologies in research conducted on/about Africa in communication studies, particularly in feminist scholarship. I argue that African feminisms can serve as a critical decolonial tool providing valuable insights that can decenter whiteness and challenge the dominance of U.S.-centered frameworks for research conducted on/about Africa. I develop my discussion of a decolonial feminist co…
(Re)imagining African futures: Wakanda and the politics of transnational Blackness
Black Panther (2018) is now one of the most popular Hollywood movies across the globe featuring a predominantly Black cast. Its success lies not only in economic value, but also in its ability to present universal concerns of power, pride, and humanity from global Black perspectives. In this essay, we analyze Black Panther through the lens of postcolonial cultural critique guided by Afrofuturism to examine how the movie misrepresents itself as a …

Feminism remains a complex and contested phenomenon in Africa due to the negative stereotypes associated with the concept itself, as it is “often equated with radical feminism and with hatred of me
Hybridity and Identity Performance in Diasporic Context: An Autoethnographic Journey of the Self Across Cultures
In this autoethnographic article, I am interested in theorizing about how hybridity illuminates my lived experience of identity performed across cultures, and more specifically in diasporic context, at the intersections of various facets of my selfhood: Black, female, postcolonial, African, bi-tribal, diasporic, immigrant, nonnative English Speaker, 'French native speaker,' and so on. I use personal narrative as a locus of subjectivity to recount…
