Sites of transformation: queer and feminist leadership in Kenya’s social justice movements
Overview
This essay seeks to explore the role of queer and feminist leadership in transforming Kenya’s social justice movements. It examines how Gen Z leaders confront structural barriers and navigate tensions within their movements while advocating for systemic change in broader society; exploring how activists navigate power, identity, and systemic oppression in their pursuit of social justice. Additionally, it touches upon how digital activism serves as spaces for visibility, solidarity, and mobilisation, while also being sites of threat and violence. Grounded in the author's personal lived experiences navigating queer identities within various movements and that of two other activists, this essay situates queer and feminist leadership within decolonial and intersectional theories.
