"My generation is sandwiched between the generations of our parents and our children. We have been providers and caregivers. The world today is globally connected and with all the best intentions, our children may not be able to care for us in our old age."

"Wherever you look across Zambian society, you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who openly identifies as atheist, agnostic, non-religious, or secular humanist. This is, after all, “a Christian nation.” The country’s constitution clearly says so."

Congrats to @ZedEssays for such a thoughtful series on #Zambia - including discussions on race, politics, identity, photography and memory.

"As the dust on my fingers thickened, the neglection of these photos became more apparent. Colour slides revealed images of families who were able to record their own memories, outlining the disparities that exist between social classes even in memory making."
