What is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes. ~  Marcus Aurelis via Jess Search. In remembrance of Jess @SkollWorldForum #SkollWF #Skoll

@maureenagena Born a Crime is a great read, as is one of your earlier recommendations A Girl is a Body of Water by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi. This platform *used* to be a good place for sharing reading recommendations. Thanks for trying to continue the tradition!

Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊

[Bonnie Koenig @BonnieKoenig]

@kalsoom82 Yes it does! Glad you have such a strong one - the positive energy you’ve put out into the world coming back to you 😀

[Bonnie Koenig @BonnieKoenig]

@romainmurphy Absolutely!
