On this International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, we must ask: Who pays the price? While drug abuse affects everyone, women and girls bear the heaviest hidden costs. From lost income and severe social stigma to increased unpaid care work and limited healthcare access, the impacts are profound. True justice and dignity mean leaving no one behind. Let's champion policies that protect, heal, and empower.

Our ancestors fought for political freedom.
Our generation must complete the mission through African unity, economic independence, and people-powered solidarity.
This African Liberation Day, we recommit ourselves to building One Africa for all Africans. ✊🏾

Ancel Langwa (@langwaancel): "Throughout the chapter, there are key themes, we talk about the weight of futility. The feeling that no matter how hard you fight the system, it doesn't budge. That's what Sonny felt. He had written letters. He had protested, he had marched. He had fought with the police. But all of that going to jail, coming back to the same things that caused him to do that anyway.
Second, we're talking about generational cycles. How the trauma of an absent father can repeat itself. He hated his father because his father was absent. But he, in turn became even the same person that he hated in his father - three children, three daughters from three different women.
We also see music as a bridge, talk about jazz and gospel as two sides of the same coin, both seeking a crown or an escape from hard life."

@candybaibe170 @langwaancel Ancel Langwa: "She feels like she belongs everywhere, but at the same time, nowhere, because black students are calling her white girl. And in her own country back, they're referring to her as a foreigner and treating her in the same way like a foreigner."
