Africa is not a stereotype. It’s innovation, culture, and growth. Let’s celebrate the real story of 54 nations and 1.4 billion dreams. 🌍✨. Infographic genated by Copilot. Recently, I was invited to view a photo exhibition on development. It was beautiful and some of the images were stunning. The photographer had put some effort into representing different aspects of development, from various parts of the world, as well as diverse groups of people.

When Playtime Leaves Scars: Unpacking the Trauma From Childhood Incidents

I did not lose the skill, but somehow I was overwhelmed by negative feelings at the thought of cycling.

100 days into the year: Time to take stock
On 10 April, we marked exactly 100 days into the new year, according to my calendar. That is a milestone! Yet, every year, we celebrate the start of a new year, make resolutions that we break within weeks, then move on. Our focus, thereafter, is on other milestones like anniversaries and birthdays, as well as the usual public holidays that we celebrate annually.
