big institutions tend to chew up radicals & spit em out—yet we need their resources, infrastructure, reach. and most don't understand the toll it takes to push for bold, transformative work from within.
so for those that do so & endure for the sake of our movements, thank you 💜

A Zoom meeting uses 540 MB to 1.62 GB of data per hour. In Africa, median price for 1 GB is $7.04 w/ some higher than $20 per GB. Africans pay for 'free' conferences and webinars. Pay for meetings. Pay to download your large attachments. #beconsiderate.
