Lola Olufemi & Minna Salami: Critical Reflections on Feminism (2020 Event)

Since 2010, the award-winning blog MsAfropolitan has connected
feminism with critical reflections on contemporary culture from
an Africa-centred perspective. Its founder is Nigerian-Finnish
writer and lecturer Minna Salami, a powerhouse of feminist
thinking and organising whose first book of essays is Sensuous
Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone.


Salami joins our event alongside writer and activist Lola
Olufemi, author of Feminism, Interrupted. Olufemi is an
organiser with the London Feminist Library and co-founder of
FLY, Cambridge University’s network for women and non-binary
people of colour.


In conversation with feminist historian Jade
Bentil recorded live at the 2020 Book Festival, Salami
and Olufemi discuss the big ideas around empowerment, inclusion
and activism and how (in Salami’s words) ‘we see ourselves, our
history, and our world’.
