Decolonizing the mind is very hard because you find that absolutely everything is wrong and you just have to subconsciously oppose everything.

“Your mouth works” is such a disturbing statement. It reduces a woman to a set of usable body parts and reinforces the idea that a man’s sexual needs matter more than her consent, comfort, or dignity.

The "No-Veto" Rule: A Geopolitical Anomaly.

Absolute Equality : ​Unlike traditional Western-led institutions like the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund (IMF), where voting power is tied to capital share, giving wealthier nations dominant control, the NDB was built to upend this dynamic.

​The Power Structure: Every founding member (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) has exactly one vote, and no country holds veto power. Despite China hosting the physical headquarters shown in the image and having the largest economy, it possesses no more say over this $1 billion loan than South Africa itself.

THE FAMOUS ID APPLICATION HOSTAGE THAT HAPPENED LIVE ON RADIO @Yfm @djsbu 👇🏿
Kabelo Thibedi is a man remembered for his dramatic hostage taking at a government office to obtain his long delayed identity document.
On the 30 November 2005 the 21 year old walked into the Department of Home Affairs regional offices in central Johannesburg and held a female staff member Lanelle Small, hostage inside an office for around six hours. Armed only with a toy gun, Thibedi demanded the immediate issuance and delivery of his ID book. His extreme action stemmed from years of deep frustration ,he had waited more than 2 years, submitted 9 unsuccessful applications, and had already lost a job because he lacked the required document.
The standoff captured national attention. Radio stations across the country received calls from listeners who expressed strong sympathy for his battle against bureaucratic inefficiency. While barricaded in the office, Thibedi called in the popular youth station YFM and spoke live with DJ Sbu, who suddenly found himself acting as an on air negotiator, trying to calm the young man and warn him of the potential consequences. The broadcast dramatically heightened public awareness, drawing thousands of supportive reactions.
To end the crisis Home Affairs officials arranged for Thibedi’s completed ID book to be flown by helicopter from Pretoria to Johannesburg. Once it was handed over, police used stun grenades to storm the room and arrest him. In 2006, he was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to five years in prison.
He later appealed the sentence. In October 2009, the South Gauteng High Court backdated it, allowing him to avoid serving time in actual jail.

I studied architectural design in Cameroon and every architect they taught me was European. Every movement, every theory, every name on the required reading list. The Great Mosque of Djenné, the Moorish arch, Great Zimbabwe never appeared on any syllabus.

Now I am studying management and every economist is Western. George Ayittey, a Ghanaian who built an entire economic framework for African development, has never appeared in a single lecture. Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian economist who argued that Western aid is destroying African economies, same.

Two disciplines. Not one African name in the required reading.

This is not only an architecture problem. It is medicine, law, economics, history. Every field is taught through a foreign lens and when a student tries to think beyond it they are disciplined for it.

We are not behind because we lack knowledge. We are behind because we were taught that ours does not count.

After the world is done raving about 🇨🇩 DR. Congo’s grand arrival and fashion look for the World Cup, please also take the time to educate yourselves about our issues and amplify our voices. DR. Congo is currently undergoing a genocide and one of its worst Ebola outbreaks.

A man refusing condoms is "a preference" but a women refusing pregnancy is "murder".
That isn't morality, it's misogyny.

I have no interest in being around people who assign malicious intent to every mistake. If grace is reserved for no one, not even the people in your life, I can only imagine how harshly you judge strangers

i have to treat my body better, not to attract a lover or an audience, but because my body is a conduit for the entire life experience. this body is a container for all possible consciousness. it is my job to live a life that this enhanced vessel can sustain with ease and joy .
