We can and will no longer rely on foreign or western media to tell African stories. An African journalist who does not live in in the country and understand the customs, will not understand the context or nuances of the stories they are telling. Africa is not a monolith so no single story can ever reflect it. we need multiple stories to broaden or wisdom of the continent after all there are 54 countries in Africa. @chimamanda_adichie said it best on TED talk, the dangers of a SINGLE STORY. ______________________________________ Showing us love all the way from Kenya is @velma.rossa in our braided crown.
