What started as a campaign to challenge the way Africa is represented on the world map has become a global conversation about how maps shape the way we see the world.
This moment belongs to everyone who questioned the map, shared the campaign, raised their voice and refused to accept that the way we have always seen Africa is the way Africa must continue to be seen.
The map has been challenged. Now let’s change how Africa is seen. We did it.

Hace décadas era imposible que una mujer afrodescendiente como yo llegara a la Vicepresidencia de la República de Colombia. 🇨🇴
Hoy quiero agradecer al pueblo colombiano por permitirme gobernar este país durante estos 4 años, mandato que asumí con el corazón bien puesto.
Abrimos las puertas para que no se cierren jamás, para que las niñas, niños, la juventud, las y los líderes sociales y las mujeres en toda su diversidad, desde todos los territorios, sueñen y se atrevan a ocupar el Estado en favor de la vida, la paz, la justicia social y la dignidad.
A partir de hoy, en el pasillo de las y los vicepresidentes de la República reposa el retrato de Francia Elena Márquez Mina (2022-20226).
¡Seguiremos luchando hasta que la dignidad se haga costumbre! @ViceColombia
OVERHEARD: “Namibia’s President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is slashing her country’s debts, having wielded the axe to chop Cabinet from 21 to 14 while genuinely tackling corruption. Meanwhile, some of her regional peers are rubber-stamping nearly 90 ministers, sinking deeper into debt, and performing the usual hollow dance of "fighting corruption." Me thinks Namibia should lend her on a rotational basis to struggling African economies, no?

Mt.Kenya 2 Routes (Old Moses-Lenana-Chogoria Gate-Lenana-Old Moses) 70Km
Slide 1. First Summit of the Day from Old Moses
Slide 2. The beautiful Sunrise
Slide 3. Second Summit of the day from Chogoria Gate
Slide 4: A moment with the super incredible @Limo_kipkemoi a few meters to the summit
The first time I heard about the 3 routes challenge, it made me wonder why anyone would put themselves through such an ordeal! A day dash is already brutal, but now 3? Damn!
But over the time, I found myself tempted to attempt 2 routes, especially because I normally finish my day dash so early and then have to wait for hours for the others to finish.
The D day finally came and on Friday, we left Nairobi for Old Moses, where we spent the night, so as to start our hike at 3am.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t sleep, yet sleep is such an important part of being physically and mentally prepared. I even tried counting to 100, but it didn’t work! I This meant suffering throughout the hike and I really battled with it, and it’s one of the reasons why I decided to end my challenge at 2 routes!
At 3am, it was all systems go… the adrenaline and energy levels were high, and to my pleasure, the trail was pretty much dry! I was worried about getting my shoes wet at the bogs and climbing in freezing toes was not appealing. The thing I should have been prepared for is the rocky path from the Likii junction to the river… I fell about 3 times, hurt myself… I mean, you are running in the dark…
The first summit felt supper good. I was up there in a record 3hrs 27mins. Took a photo, and started hiking down towards Mintos. I was expecting to find the guide with my supplies at Mintos but unfortunately, he wasn’t there. This meant I had no food and electrolytes to keep me going. I had to rawdog on water all the way to Chogoria gate and back to Mintos. The hike down towards Chogoria was really good and easy, but coming back up was torturous. Luckily, I had saved a lot of time going down (6 hours from old Moses), but it took forever to get back to the summit… about 6 hours (to be continued)
There's an ongoing protests in Manda Island, Lamu County.
The residents are protesting the illegal introduction of buffaloes and other wild animals by a private company without community consent or proper environmental clearance.
The residents say that the roaming animals are a direct threat to human life, particularly school children, and are damaging crops, livestock, and local livelihoods.
The community also say that the introduction of the wild animals looks like a hidden agenda of grabbing community land for a conservancy.
