Support Black Authors. They are often rejected by major publishers because of racism

It is rare to see Black female PhDs in Applied Data Science, making this achievement even more remarkable. Meet Dr Khensani Xivuri, the first and only Black female to receive a PhD in Applied Data Science from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦.

The concept of having a race you hate raise your kids is so interesting.

My aunt leaving the house by 5am and coming home late in the evening. Raising non-Black kids for cents whilst we raised ourselves. I HATE the domestic work industry. Absolutely despise it. There isn’t a corner of the globe where it isn’t exploitative.

The first Africans to compete in the Olympic Games were two South Africans, Jan Mashiane and Len Taunyane, who competed in the Marathon at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics. Their participation in the infamous 1904 St. Louis Olympic Marathon is one of the most fascinating and bizarre chapters in sports history. Neither man traveled to the United States as an official Olympic athlete. They were in Missouri as part of the Boer War Spectacle at the World's Fair, which ran concurrently with the Games. They had previously served as dispatch runners during the Anglo-Boer War. They decided to enter the marathon on a whim just before the race began. Because officials struggled with their surnames, they were listed on the program as "LenTau" and "Yamasani". Taunyane was actually on pace for a much higher finish but was chased nearly a mile off-course by a pack of aggressive, wild dogs. Despite the canine detour and brutal conditions that caused 18 out of 32 runners to drop out, both South Africans finished the race. Taunyane finished 9th and Mashiane finished 12th.

"The People Shall Govern!" is the opening and foundational clause of the Freedom Charter! Today Politicians in positions of power seem to forget this very important clause.

The Dakar Conference, 1987. The conference was held in Dakar, Senegal, between 55 predominantly white Afrikaner South Africans and a 16-member delegation of the exiled African National Congress (ANC). Organized amidst a heightened state of emergency in South Africa, this landmark gathering bypassed the rigid strictures of the apartheid government to explore potential paths toward a negotiated political settlement.
