🧵Miami's Goombay is one of the oldest Black Caribbean festivals in the U.S. It's back this weekend after a 5 year hiatus. Miami was founded by Black folks from the deep South and Bahamians. The first name on the city's charter is Silas Austin, a Bahamian man.

For many years, the British Council has supported Nigerian creatives contributing to the growth of music, fashion, art & media. To affirm their commitment, the organization held a private event attended by key stakeholders in Lagos.

Today in 1835, an estimated 600 Yoruba and Hausa enslaved Africans from present-day Nigeria carried out a rebellion in the northeastern Brazilian city of Salvador da Bahia.The rebellion is recognized as the most significant slave rebellion in the history of Brazil. #RxHistory⏳
If “I am my ancestors wildest dreams” was a person… wow! ❤️
My Grandma passed away today.
A while back, we drove past a mansion she used to clean in Naples, FL:
“I remember cleaning toilets for a doctor that lived there,” she said.
Then w/a smirk, she finished: “But my son’s a doctor now.”
Rest now Grandma, from your Dream Come True.

We love the #BlacktoFront initiative which puts AfroBrits in the spotlight on TV. Here’s to hoping it’s a long lasting, permanent fixture in UK media.

Interesting.
If "never mind, I'll do it myself" was a person...oh...
Agreed. Next Q: are we filling the void for others seeking better opportunities.
"Women in Africa are more likely than men to choose entrepreneurship not because they have a burning passion or the right skills, but because of a lack of better opportunities." Thoughts?
