This dissertation, in five chapters, responds to the call for diversity in feminist rhetoric and material studies by directing attention to material practices in grassroots African feminist cultural and digital activisms. Drawing on African and materialist methods-African feminist autoethnography, Ubuntu, and feminist new materialisms-this project seeks to explore non-Western perspectives of digital and cultural material interconnections relevant to understanding the networks, connections, and systems that make up and inform African women's realities. This leads me to theorize a relationality with things-airtime recharge cards, social media, beads- showing how this relationality shapes our lives and agencies, uncovers networks of power, and prompts social outcomes through both resistance and innovation. In this African feminist material analysis, I also show the struggle for liberation of African women as not logically separated from material things, but instead how in coming together they enforce African women's abilities to perform gendered activism on the continent. Primarily, this dissertation pushes African feminist material rhetorics on the basis of making room for (Black) African relational performances and embodied artifacts that remain scant in feminist rhetoric and materialist studies. This work makes space for Black African women's material embodiment to shed light on (un)common relational philosophies that remain the epistemic foundations of traditions and lived experiences on the continent.
