When I first moved to New York City, I was appalled by how congested it was. My house didn’t even have a window & I was paying $1000 a month for a bedroom. As a well trained African woman, I’ve decided to build a new NYC for America. Currently in talks with some investors.

African women please take up space in your field of expertise and be loud about it. Your name should be the first to pop into people's minds when they are looking for someone in your field. "Humility" is costing us money.

Don't punish yourself if you haven’t read as much as you might have wished during lockdown. It was, still is, a demoralising experience. Productivity and even leisure were affected. Be gentle with yourself. You’ll be reading avidly again soon 🙌

Hutete ura hwangu, hutete hura hwangu
Tererai kurira kwehanga, ichiti nhaiwe gondo,
Seiko uchiponda mwana wangu
Mucheche-cheche asina mhosva
Kukandira ndoga , kurera ndoga
Iwe wavakutomuponda nyore
Wandishoreiko ini hanga
Wandidarireiko ini hanga....

This book is available for FREE on the @OneReadAfrica app. Whenever ethnicity determines how you treat and interact with other Africans, there is only one outcome. Yolande Mukagasana's story will break your heart, and heal you.

@SibongiMoyo @freemanchari how do you question 20 thousand lies in a "you have 45 seconds each to ask your question"
