So we have just launched the Bombastic Magazine 6th edition. Next week I begin sourcing out stories for the next edition. The question is, how do I wipe off this make-up? 😂😂😂😂 #Bombastic6thEdition

We are heavily empowered to stand with #Ghana to support their movement so we can all move forward as a global network. Together we can launch our community up high. @Winnie_Byanyima @richardlusimbo @SonaKimb @nickopiyo @jjuukoa #Bombastic6thEdition #ThePowerOfAllyship

"As we build public support, we need to engage stakeholders for example the police. I have seen colleagues in Uganda that keep on educating such duty bearers to ensure key populations are safe."- @richardlusimbo #Bombastic6thEdition

As we push for decriminilization of same sex relationships there is need to start focusing on public support as we need to dismantle the hatred that has been planted in people and our communities @richardlusimbo #Bombastic6thEdition @PanAfricaILGA @KashaJacqueline

Allies can support us by joining us since they have so many connections in media, embassies and many other sectors. We need support. This happened in Uganda when they passed the Bill how can we also do it in Ghana. We need support from Allies.Davis #Ghana #Bombastic6thEdition

The LGBTIQA+ community is powerless without practical and technical support from Allies and supportive religious networks. Allies need to get to the forefront of this movement @Winnie_Byanyima @richardlusimbo @SonaKimb @nickopiyo @jjuukoa #Bombastic6thEdition #ThePowerOfAllyship

"South Africa is one of the countries with the most progressive laws on decriminalisation but there have been rampant cases of rape of LBQT women and sometimes murder. Decriminalisation is therefore not enough."- @richardlusimbo #Bombastic6thEdition

Having representatives at the CCM has given us presentation in terms of budget planning, good out comes ie push to purchase for more condoms and lubricants and has presented an opportunity to mend some of the policies which govern the MOH. #CameroonKakande #Bombastic6thEdition

The movement should get back into holding feminists, activists, allies and LGBTIQA+ accountable to reduce on the toxicity that is slowly infiltrating the movement. @Winnie_Byanyima @richardlusimbo @SonaKimb @nickopiyo @jjuukoa #Bombastic6thEdition #ThePowerOfAllyship

"We need to start having conversations with the societies. It is one thing decriminalising and is it another thing to educate communities about it. Changing the mindset of the public is key"- @richardlusimbo #Bombastic6thEdition

#Bombastic6thEdition @SonaKimb - we are open with working with transgender women as long as they embrace the feminist principles @Phyllees @Winnie_Byanyima @KashaJacqueline @QueerYouth2006 @richardlusimbo @nickopiyo @jjuukoa

We all know that this bill is being funded religious extremists. Allies should step up and get involved and if this bill passes it will impact everyone including allies, families, friends and relatives.#Davis #Bombastic6thEdition

Homosexuality started being treated as a taboon at the hands of religion and this has created enmity and violence even within families igniting fear in the hearts of both the allies and LGBTIQA+ @richardlusimbo @Winnie_Byanyima @SonaKimb #Bombastic6thEdition #ThePowerOfAllyship

#Bombastic6thEdition @richardlusimbo the programs director of @PanAfricaILGA stresses the need and importance of LGBT+ people working together across continents and borders #PowerofAllyship

"At Pan Africa ILGA, our work is further centered around linking our member organisations to allies at the regional level for example Human Rights Council, African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights, and more." - @richardlusimbo #Bombastic6thEdition

"One clear thing that came out of our just concluded 5th Regional Conference, is that we need to strongly work with allies. That is why most sessions centered around how can the LGBTIQ+ community is strategic"- @richardlusimbo #Bombastic6thEdition

"Pan Africa ILGA is uniting LGBTIQ+ communities across the African continent. We are just from organising our first-ever Regional Conference (the 5th) which has been our largest so far."- @richardlusimbo #Bombastic6thEdition
