I have provided social & political commentary on #Malawi for the past 18 years.
In all these years, the only constant has been the resolve of Malawians (at various intervals) to rise up and defend institutions of Democracy. These institutions, at critical moments, have listened.
In the midst of poverty, lack of imagination, endless circuses, games of cards, hope for a better #Malawi has persisted. It is hope found in the young fishermen on the lakeshore; the hope of young women creatives who continue to create - to do. The hope of young Patriots.

Hoping I create more time this week to continue writing about Kanye West, Amerika in the BLACK Imagination and the hierarchies of #BlackLivesMatter.
The widespread and necessary reaction to #KhashoggiMurder also matters in putting things into perspective.
From my perspective, the evolution of Kanye West is the most logical consequence of repeated attempts by BLACK americans to gain full citizenship in the country they belong to.
Ye isn't acting out-of-sync with common aspirations for US citizenship by blacks in amerika.
