i'm very pro abortion and also very pro children, and this may seem contradictory but it really isn't.
i will always support a woman's decision to abort, but once a child is born, i will fully advocate for that child to be loved and protected. it's really that simple.

Ethiopia is in the process of building a dam that generates electricity, ofcourse it has come with all the political sensitivities from Egypt and the countries within the Nile. What’s fascinating about this story is that Ethiopians funded the project themselves through donations.

Every December kubakho izitori kuphele kuvalwa i-beach to deter holidaymakers from coming to Gonubie Beach in numbers.

Gabby fully understanding how the world saw her before she became famous, and still sees her now, is why I'm glad she refused to let Raven gaslight her about being "embraced" by Hollywood. Gabby never had it easy, and she still doesn't. No Black woman who looks like her does.
So grateful for @GabbySidibe breaking down the antifatness, colorism, shapism, etc. that so many of us experience in this world.
Similarly I know I’m stunning but not by societal standards and my treatment by others has been laced with antifatness.

When we argue against religious intolerance in South Africa, we're not defending the people of that religion. We're defending ourselves because we also have beliefs that other people can suddenly decide are bad and persecute us.

LOL the people who stopped us from practicing African spirituality were the Christian apartheid & colonial governments. Not Hindus offering Diwali sweets. And the constitution that protects them protects African spirituality too

Genuinely confused by how backwards South Africans are becoming. We prided ourselves on being an inclusive nation, yet the regression in our collective thinking is staggering. If it's not conservative BS, it's xenophobia, Islamophobia, tribalism or some other form of prejudice.

I’m absolutely disgusted by the vile insinuations that Diwali treats carry sinister intent. Turning an act of generosity and cultural goodwill into something malicious is deeply offensive.

now THIS is how you do a video about the congo basin: not sensationalising it as one of earth’s most dangerous places, but recognising it as a lived landscape, home to communities who have travelled, traded and navigated its waterways for generations. not an adventure spectacle.
