Bio
We exist to widen relevant philosophical discussions to make them radically inclusive, diverse and accessible to all. For too long; philosophy has been unapproachable and gate-kept by an academic elite.

Don't Judge a Book by it's Moleskine Cover.
The first time he sinned he was five. Little Annie, worrying her plaits to distraction drops her ribbon in church. Ma had told her to stop fidgeting but her small fingers worked the hair loose during Psalm 36 while their mother’s eyes were fixed on the pulpit and her two children squirmed in the dust.

Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Reflection:
I’ll be honest; I’ve been thinking about what to write for weeks; months even. As soon as the conception of ‘Philosofemme’ came to life and the blog was confirmed – I was thinking. I knew for certain that I wanted to write something poignant about Martin Luther King Jr. and his non-violent philosophy – which is not often considered as part of philosophy, but as political theory. We know him as an activist, but I was interested in his ideology behind his politics. However, I was aware this would be difficult. I wasn’t wrong – it’s been very difficult. How can you write anything new and insightful about the most documented civil rights activist in history? The man is on - a rightfully gained - pedestal; he is the king of love. Despite how loved he is, he is also a man who was murdered in a hate-filled vitriol for fighting for basic human rights for African Americans. This dichotomy and the magnitude of his influence means I feel the pressure writing about him. Especially in the tumultuous civil rights battle that is unfolding across the world - America particularly - around the subject of police brutality towards the Black community. Black Lives Matter campaigners are being silenced, harmed and arrested.
