Follow @baselinethoughts BASELINETHOUGHTS…. EXPRESSION WITH SOUL Valentine Makoni My source of news on American politics is the daily show with Trevor Noah. A comedy show. I mean, its hilarious and ridiculous, full of exaggerations and democrats bias… but i love it because its hosted by Trevor Noah. A South African. An African. An outsider looking in. I value his Point of View, thoughts. I feel that thats what’s been lacking in the news and content on Africa. A point of View we can relate too. Lets ignore the “objectivity” of the press, or the “validity” of academia, or the “sophistication” of foreign agents or the “realness” of our opinion piece writers. If we were to remove all artificial filters, how would we conceive of our world? Thats what baseline thoughts is about. About the humans who write it, and all elements that surround and are part of their humanity. To share on love and friendship, identity and pan africanism, politics and music… to express anything and everything. But to express it with soul. Its about the prose and the poems, the songs and the pictures, the jokes and the memes that most accurately reflect the people who create them, and connect most deeply to the people who read it. I’m excited you are here. Baseline thoughts wants you. Express yourself with soul. #baseline #baselinethoughts #writers #poetry #blog #blogger #daily #african #afro #authentic #ownership
