Hayma Alyousfi is a Syrian feminist, human rights defender and political activist. She is part of the Syrian revolution but had to leave the country in 2014. However, she continues to fight for radical justice in Syria from abroad and is an active member of the civil society since 2012. 

In this episode we talk about feminism, activism, books and the feminist killjoy, but above all about the Syrian revolution and the importance of personal narratives in times of war and conflict. Personal stories that need to be collected to protect them from deliberate erasure by the oppressor. This episode is about: keeping narratives alive, using personal stories as resistance, changing the center of knowledge production and breaking hegemonic discourses.

Ninna Gutierrez is a young adult full of empathy, who loves spending time with friends, working out, writing, journaling and traveling. In this episode Ninna tells us her story about her 'invisible illness'. She is speaking her truth, which was not always easy for her, but now it has become simple and in its simplicity lies a power, the power of transformation, setting her free form the pain she endured and into her new life. 

This episode, called “collective care matters”, is a reminder for us that taking care for one another, seeing each other’s vulnerability, is revolutionary because by protecting each other, practicing community and acknowledging our interdependencies we practice a form of protest that breaks existing injustices and can make a change on this planet.

Sofi Antonellini is a passionate feminist activist from Argentina currently living in Amsterdam. She works as a program manager for a Syrian feminist organization and is part of different feminist collectives involved in decolonial practice and intersectional feminism. 

Sofi says: “As a Latina migrant living in Western Europe, I am interested in the connections between the Western and non-Western contexts, particularly, in dismantling unfair representations of the Global South to promote social justice. This along with the potential of transnational feminist solidarity are in my opinion the most powerful tools for change.

On a lighter note: Sofi is a mate addict (a herbal teal that has a strong cultural significance and is the national drink of Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay). She loves swimming in open waters and plays the drums in a percussion feminist group.

In this episode we speak about Sofi’s feminist journey, about activism, borders, feminist solidarity, femicide, trans femicide, our ancestors and a lot more. This is our love letter to feminism.
