Most of my followers are people of African descent and/or people living somewhere in Africa. I’m curious how my country, Canada, is perceived in Africa and among Africanists like yourselves. So, what do you think of Canada?
@Nosalikes and I (@katebomz) are working on producing a Documentary series project which aims to change perceptions of the continent, by diminishing the image of a continent in need of salvation, but rather showing a place full of opportunity and potential waiting to be realized. The show will cover 13 African cities, and will help to highlight the uniqueness of each city, giving the world a better understanding of the wonderful diversity within the continent.
I would love ALL your support on this, getting word out on it, and of course coming to our kickstarter launch event to learn more about the project. So lets get on RT..Reblog, Instagram, Facebook, Tumble, this, that..all the above!
I hope to see you all there.

Dirty Paraffin Exhibit A ( OFFICIAL ) (by okmalumkoolkat)
This looks like such a cool picture…until you read the background story of how it was attained.
“Then when it seemed we finally had found a Maasai who could ride a bike, the brakes failed and he bounced off about 6 boulders before crashing down at the bottom of a steep hill breaking his ankle and his nose.
So on and off it went before I had an epiphany. Instead of using a Maasai, I found a Kikuyu who was great on a bike, put a wig on him along with some Maasai attire and we were off.”
Here’s a link to the original, longer post.
I don’t care who it comes from.
I really hate it when an African leaders makes a decision in their country, and someone comes on and shits all over that bit of progress with:
“Shouldn’t they be focusing on poverty? Should they be focusing on curing AIDS?”

Djibouti. Lake Assal. The beach. What appears to be sand is in fact salt.
