Postcripts from June 2024
Our theme for June was Inclusive Activism.
Looking back, June 2024 brought a bittersweet blend of causes to celebrate as well as pause for concern. It certainly gave us a lot to think about as feminists and social justice activists. In South Africa, where 16 June is Youth Day, we celebrate Youth Month. Our young queer community extend it to celebrate Pride Month and the country also marks Men’s Mental Health in June.

In this issue, we also feature what’s new at Shamillah Wilson coaching — sharing our podcasts, blog posts and quotes from feminists on the subject — and highlight FRIDA’s Happiness Manifesto.
