While I was in Egypt doing my research w/ street connected girls, a journalist wrote an article in a popular national paper “Street Children, The Brazilian Solution” & proceeded to explain that Brazil was “brave” in taking “meaningful action” that maybe Egypt should consider #PoliticalByBeingVisible

10 years ago I was in overwhelm with the data I collected on street girls & performative gender… “sweet good girl” to access shelter vs bound breasts & deep voices to stay safe on the street… & I got to talk this through with Judith Butler. Highlight of my brains journey! #Gender #StreetGirls

Forever grateful for the better era of Twitter—where, in a hellish world, I found ways to connect with the kinder parts of it, to bring moments of hope to street kids.

This photo is a testament to the power of social media when it works. One of those children’s lives was transformed through it ♥️

Capital withheld from the labourers.

My non academic family/friends have no idea what I am talking about when I say we don’t get paid for publishing.
