Journalism from the heart of crises

A message from our new CEO

GENEVA

I have been reading a book that I adore, called The Feminist Killjoy Handbook: The Radical Potential of Getting in the Way, by Sara Ahmed. One of the chapters describes a hazard of exposing problems, which is that the person exposing the problem is then called, themselves, a problem, for disturbing the comfort of those who benefit from the problem. A defining characteristic of my life has been being a problem. I have been a problem inadvertently, by merely existing as a Black woman, and deliberately, by being a Black woman asking inconvenient questions, with strong convictions about justice and abuse of power. Read the full message to TNH readers fro new CEO Ebele Okobi.
