I've been waiting and seeing what Malala will be up to after she comes into her own. Until now, her appropriation by the global mainstream of Nobel Prizes, UN Ambassadorships, international jet setting to lay a brick or two for a girl's school had some benefit of doubt. But news that Malala has signed deals with Apple tells me she is not getting off this international ride to capitalist stardom , this journey that will be littered with talk shows, TED talks, workshops, photo ops, and lectures. It is deflating instead that all that struggle will just be swallowed up a machinery that props up the structures of oppression.
See: Malala teams up with Apple for content aimed at women, children.
