This week on my Middle-Class Wealth series, I’m sharing insights from @McKinsey_MGI's report.

I highlight the opportunities for the African & diasporan middle class.

McKinsey Global Institute is an authoritative source of economic forecasts. Their report projects a vibrant economic future for Africa in a number of sectors.

It was an honour to speak at the @SAAMA_NPC Conference on Wednesday, 7th June 2023.

I presented @volitioncap's unique fund management model using traditional African cooperatives.

I also emphasized the need for asset managers to assist the middle class to reach their financial goals.
By nurturing an environment where the African middle class has the right tools and knowledge to better manage their assets and secure their financial future, we can open the door to a better tomorrow.

Français, imaginez... Il ne s'agit pas de prendre position, mais juste d'imaginer, dans quelques années, une France devenue majoritairement musulmane du fait de sa démographie. Décennie après décennie, le christianisme est peu à peu devenu ultra-minoritaire. ⬇️Déroulez⬇️
Imaginez qu'à mesure que passent les années et les siècles, l'Histoire de France tombe peu à peu dans l'oubli, réinventée par les nouveaux occupants, réecrite avec d'autres héros, et sans christianisme. Imaginez que la France soit renommée, prenant par exemple un nom musulman ⬇️ Image
Imaginez ses villes renommées.. Les monuments, qui faisaient sa grandeur, détruits... il n'en resterait que des ruines, un mur ici ou là. Imaginez que les lieux saints soient tous convertis et que ce qui fût Notre-Dame soit en partie rasé et devienne une immense Mosquée... ⬇️ ImageImage

I recently learned from @fatemaaaahmad that @Middlebury is developing a CVE game. This is disappointing, but not surprising. A decade ago, I got a scholarship to study #Arabic at Middlebury's summer institute and my experience there was pretty disturbing
National security was an undertone of the program. My class included a student from the #ARMY, the #CIA, and a #Zionist. Instead of studying #Arabic in peace, I felt like I constantly had to do better because I knew that Arabic was going to used to hurt members of my community
At one point during the summer, the CIA came to do a presentation on careers with them since Arabic language skills would be a valuable asset. I didn't attend the presentation because I couldn't handle it, but my friend who passed by the room said it was overflowing with students

A rant...,

The words that I express here are my own and have no affiliation to @ADOSorg @BreakingBrown or @tonetalks. If you would like to talk about their agenda, they are always available to clear up misconceptions from what I have noticed.

But I'm finna say this... 1/11
Africa celebrated the first AA president in America, not because his family had descended from American Chattel Slavery and made it to the point where he could matriculate at a #PoisonIvy institution and become the leader of the free world, NO! They celebrated because... 2/11
He is the first generation of his African family to be born in America. It was an accomplishment that should have been celebrated. That, IMO, should have been the point where we began #Diaspora repair. People where congratulating me like my brother won, lol 3/11

A thread…

🌍Y’all had 166 years as the biggest continent to bring the entire diaspora back “home”. Generations of people would have loved to be connected to the continent. But, y’all done came here and showed out… BE CLEAR, #ADOS identity is not based in skin color… 1/8
While that is the tie that may bind us together, our familial experiences have been fundamentally different. #ADOS ancestors were beaten, raped, lynched, murdered, maimed and the like, in order to prove that G-D would make a way for their generations…2/8
We are their wildest dreams come true, and we haven’t even been included yet! Every major city in America has a celebration for every “AA” group, except #ADOS Y’all use colloquialisms and food to pretend to relate and only like our culture for monetary gains, it seems! 3/8

On Friday June 4, 2021 I attended a meeting with Secretary of State Blinken. The purpose of the meeting was to talk all things #Palestine

I attended as an individual. I am not affiliated with any PAC or organization. I obviously do not speak for or represent the #Palestinian people. There’s like 7 million of us at least, and like 2 million of #Palestinians stuffed in #Gaza alone.
To the #Palestinian Americans who boycotted this meeting after the #Biden Administration handed Israel $735 million dollars in weaponry following the merciless attacks on Palestinians locked in Gaza.

Check out item @CNN on #dualcitizenship trends with ref to @_GlobalCIT and @macimide data and comment from yours truly.

If you’re curious, this is what the trend in acceptance of #dualcitizenship for expats looks like over the past six decades.

macimide.maastrichtuniversity.nl/dual-cit-datab… Image
Over the past two decades, nearly all changes in #dualcitizenship acceptance for expats have been towards a tolerant approach. Image
I would not be surprised if one more country will follow liberal trend in near future but will depend on this week's general elections in 🇳🇱...

El obscuro recuento

Nos vendieron la idea de que: lo que no nos mata, nos hace más fuertes.

No nos dijeron, que los que sobreviveremos de un modo u otro terminados diezmados. Un poco rotos por dentro y con un amargo sabor de boca.
Quedará la memoria.
2/

No nos iremos todos, pero de un modo u otro todos perderemos algo. Unos ya perdieron a seres queridos, por la pandemia, porqué tenían cancer y este gobierno de porquería.
Ni siquiera se molestó en comprar las medicinas de este año. Ni lo hará.

#NoHayQuimios

Hay otros que ya han perdido su trabajo, por lo mismo su fuente de sustento.
Aquellos que estaban endeudados. Correrán el riesgo de perder todo su patrimonio, como ocurrió en 1994. El colapso del peso también acarreo una hecatombe en el sistema financiero.

I am looking for a program &/or resources that help teach #Somali to our children.

Like lots of 2nd gen ppl the #language our parents spoke is now firmly my 2nd language. I'm interested in ideas that promote #multilingualism, feel free to share & tag others. #online #clubs Image
@Poetic_Nomad @SomaliKids @thesailorsgirl @MohammedAArtan @numbiarts @AliAbdi_ @SamOfSomalia @HannaAli @Rooble2009 @Gulaid1 @robjama I sometimes feel that passing on a #language is harder for us 2nd & 3rd gen ppl. Although we were born & raised outside 'wadankii', the dynamics are different for our youth now. Interested to know what the educators think?

#Somali #Identity @MualimMohamed @ashahodan #teach
Thank Q #SomaliTwitter, I learned a lot about this today through conversations both on & offline. There is a lot of talent in our community, enough to design solutions to this & other challenges. My parents came to UK in the 60's, I grew up in the 80/90's. @WaaberiPhone 1/2

Људи,
Here's an interesting tweet that I dug out because I wanted to talk about #France, after talking about #Serbia this night.
Indeed France betrayed Serbs in the 90s, & has been holding onto it since.
I guess it deserves an explanation, from a Frenchman who's not on a payroll.
2. First, as an Historical reminder, what #France betrayed was something big. 200 years of joint History since a wave of Serbian diplomats & scholars came into France to see what we were doing, & then Prince Petar Karađorđević fought in the Franco-Prussian War on the French side.
3. France, despite its ties with the Ottoman Empire, progressively supported Serbia against it because it needed a new foothold in the Balkans, & #Serbia and Serbs showed interest, & huge appreciation for French intellectual & artistic movements. This relationship grew until WW1. Image

Regarding the racist & xenophobic blood argument of people calling themselves #Irish patriots... You clearly don't know #Ireland's history at all. Not our perpetual exodus to other countries as #immigrants, our status as a people of the #diaspora or our history of blending.... 1/ Image
In roughly 12,500 BC the first inhabitants of Ireland arrived from overseas. They were hunter gatherers & they were later joined by a group in around 6000 BC. This second group brought agriculture & also high levels of CF amongst other hereditary genetic issues... They merged. 2/
Yes we are a Celtic people, but "Celticism" is an international culture which was imported & built on by the people who were already here. None of us have a right to claim that our blood & culture doesn't encourage immigration. Newcomers merged with the inhabitants to make us. 3/

Después de casi 5 años en el exilio ayer tuve una experiencia casi mágica. Caminaba con mi novio y mi suegra por las calles del hermoso campus de Harvard y entonces en un rincón de la plaza, lo ví.

Orinoco... Pronto sentí como el mundo se detenía.
Cómo quién sale de un sueño. Tomé la mano de mi chico y me detuve. Él vio confusión en mi mirada y en inglés me preguntó: ¿qué pasa?

- Es... Es un restaurante venezolano. Señalé, sintiendo mi corazón saltar en el pecho.

El me miró con sus ojos verdes y sonrió.
- ¿Sí? Entremos entonces.

Su madre sonrió y se emocionó con la idea de probar comida venezolana. Ya conocían las arepas y las tajadas, pues las había preparado para ellos.

Entonces al entrar. lo primero que escuché fue una canción de Óscar de León...

Here is a thread from my Covenant & Conversation essay on #Behaalotcha called "Camp and Congregation". You can read it in full here: bit.ly/2IuewNW and download the accompanying Family Edition here: bit.ly/2WV9jYl. #ShabbatShalom Image
#Judaism in the past two centuries has fissured and fractured into different edot [communities]: #Orthodox and #Reform, #religious and #secular, and the many subdivisions that continue to atomise #Jewish #life into non-communicating sects and subcultures.
Yet in times of #crisis, we are still capable of heeding the call of collective #responsibility, knowing as we do that Jewish fate tends to be indivisible. No Jew, to paraphrase John Donne, is an island, entire of him- or herself.
