This #newblogpost is a reflection on the nature and state of African history, a quiz and a reading list. My hope is that it is a reminder that the failure to study the history of humanity, is an act of self-destruction, and that African history is world history.

🗣️ “What is democracy for you?”
This was the opening question at the first Citizens’ Parliament on Media and Democracy in Slovenia, held on 15 March in Ljubljana. Topics such as media literacy gaps, ownership transparency, and the lack of diverse voices (especially women's) quickly emerged as focal points for deeper discussion.
It turns out that sending your friend a postcard while abroad might not be as easy as you think. I hope you enjoy this humorous tale. #newblogpost #blogging https://hey.georgie.nu/postcardsfromphx/
