“We should, at all times, insist that we belong to ourselves and have the agency to make decisions about our own lives. Our voices, whether loud or soft, matter. Our behaviour, whether seen as 'good' or 'bad', remains our choice.”
― Malebo Sephodi, Miss Behave

“Quote Black Women to keep their words ablaze beyond any fire”
― Malebo Sephodi

“And that makes us (black women) feel like we have spokespeople, because everybody we encounter feels they have a piece of you and can tell you how to live your life”
― Malebo Sephodi

“I write for...

I wish I could write purely for fun 鈥� I wish I could wake up in the morning and write about the bees and the trees and the leaves. But there is a burden that sits on my shoulder and this is why I write.
I write for鈥�
All the Black women who didn鈥檛 make it
All the Black women with tapes on their mouths
All the Black women whose tongues were cut by violation
All the Black women who lost their surnames not by choice
I mould my words for鈥�
All the Black girls who think the world is innocent
All the Black girls who still dream
All the Black girls whose eyes are still clear 鈥� not tainted by nights of weeping
I write for my grandmother
I write for my mother
I write for me
I write for us
Sometimes I don鈥檛 know why I write
But what I know is this
I must write”
― Malebo Sephodi

“When you live your truth there will always be a form of resistance as long as patriarchy is allowed to thrive.”
― Malebo Sephodi, Miss Behave

“I am flawed and not perfect and get the theory incorrect because I am still unlearning internalised oppression. I still struggle with deep-seated beliefs about gender norms and have to constantly check myself. I don鈥檛 get it right all the time but I am walking in the right direction. I used to be hard on myself because I desperately wanted my feminism to be accepted by other feminists. This is when I learned the importance of the different threads that run through different strands of feminism. Sometimes I don鈥檛 feminist up to the standards of others but I continue to identify as an African feminist. It is important that we offer critique among one another though 鈥� so we may
continually check our blind spots.”
― Malebo Sephodi, Miss Behave

“I generally struggle with labels but I acknowledge the importance of owning the word 鈥榝eminism鈥�.”
― Malebo Sephodi, Miss Behave

“many believe there is a single standard for what a woman should look like, they end up feeling inadequate if they do not conform to that standard”
― Malebo Sephodi, Miss Behave
