Namibia 🇳🇦 is the emptiest country in Africa. During the early 20th century, Germany 🇩🇪 committed a genocide that killed hundreds of thousands of people in what is today Namibia.

I was a weeb who grew up to write African mythology YA books to make diaspora kids proud of their African heritage with Orisa Gods, a superhero with sickle cell, shapeshifters, African mermaids and warriors with magical braids. 🥰👏🏾

Also I’m an Ro subtype which means my blood is especially great for donating blood to people with sickle cell 🙏🏾 I’m having an extra dose of spinach today so I’ve got enough iron to be able to donate🙌🏾

I will definitely be there repping the O+ blood type. One of the best things about being a donor is finding out what blood type you are, I had no clue until I started donating 😅🙏🏾

Israel bombed Lebanon's historic Saint George's Church — built in 1867, long before Israel even existed. It sits in downtown Beirut. Israel bombed a holy site that withstood empires and centuries. For what? What military objective was served by destroying a landmark of peace?

Get ready for another week of wall-to-wall dehumanising anti-immigration coverage which does nothing but create a hostile environment for those who aren’t white British. Look after yourselves & your mental health please.

Our ancestors are not just ordinary people. They are all Òrìṣàs that gave us the current Yorùbá Civilization we have today. BTW, Yorùbá Women are the most creative people in the world. See what they made and preserve for centuries. Aṣọ Òfì/Aṣọ Òkè is Yorùbá Pride 🌸🌼
