Man, “Bilal: Live at Glasshaus,” was one of my favorite albums this year. I didn’t know they taped it. It’s R&B Jazz at its finest. Bilal’s spirit maturity is transparent bc of his vocal maturity. And it’s wonderful. youtu.be/nB7fhyqh0IM?si=4qXP…

I need Ramaphosa to divide the Sports, Arts and Culture portfolio like how the Education portfolio. There should be a Minister of Sports and a Minister of Arts and Culture. That way, both sectors have the attention they require.

For @republicjournal, I wrote about why a decolonial African feminism matters. From our pre-colonial ideas on gender to today’s tech exploitation, we must build lifelines for our futures from the legacies of our foremothers. Read my/our manifesto: republic.com.ng/february-mar…
Replying to @WalleLawal
A good place to start is Ololade Faniyi’s ‘African Feminist Manifesto’, which is paywall free and probably the most powerful essay you’ll read today, touching everything from artificial intelligence to decolonial African history. republic.com.ng/february-mar…

South Africa is imperfect in very many, systemic and heartbreaking ways, but man it’s also really nice to see things like freedom of expression, freedom of the press, freedom of association in real time. An election is a real pressure test of those things, and we do okay.

One of my exhibition reviews on the Venice Biennale and South Africa which you can read in @friezeofficial
"For many people who are made to feel like a foreigner, finding a path to overcoming that alienation might be a task that collectives such as MADEYOULOOK can assuage." Edna Bonhomme (@jacobinoire) on the Johannesburg-based collective @friezeofficial ow.ly/1svv50Rw8vY
