Fela Kuti was deeply inspired by the decolonization tactics of non-violence that Mahatma Gandhi used in India in the 1940s, who was in turn inspired by the non-violence practices often employed by the Suffragists of the 1920s in England. Madame Gandhi discusses why Felas work in Nigeria inspired her, and about the song called Bad Habits she co-created with Zach Witness that she will be dropping in 2018. Watch her on this Facebook Live interview with Pan-African Tunisian blogger and feminist Aya Chebbi.

In 2015, she ran the London Marathon free-bleeding to combat period stigma around the world, sparking a global viral conversation about how we treat menstruation in various cultures. She now travels often to perform and speak about modern gender equality, and is also working on her full-length album. Madame Gandhi’s mission is to elevate and celebrate the female voice.
