“Learning Swahili While White” My brain wants to use what I know about English, French, Spanish, German, Italian to make assumptions about how Swahili “should” go. The de-centering of self starts long before I even get on the plane to Kenya in Sept with Disciples Women.

Starting three from Kenyan authors: The Havoc of Choice, One Day I Will Write About This Place, and Thursdays.
Ordering from local library to support authors and not benefit behemoth online retailer that shall remain nameless.

Books to read before the trip with Disciples Women to Kenya this September? Load me up. Thanks in advance.

Best app to learn some Swahili before trip to Kenya in September? Will practice with church friends who are native speakers.

So TikTok is really going away? Oy. Ok this old gal will try to learn other means of communication and seek out other sources of information. V, I think I will miss Under the Desk most of all.
