Known as the cheapest spot on the Monopoly board, the Old Kent Road is set for a major #regeneration.

If you read one thing today - it should be this; excellent piece where @mkuki discusses Swahili writers and the fact that they should be mandatory reading in Tanzania… he also unpacks the deep trauma around books in our region. africanarguments.org/2024/07…

Kenyans are protesting a draconian finance bill that will destroy the lives of millions who are already grappling with severe economic hardship. We demand and deserve a better future for ourselves and our children.

So excited to have received my copy of State of Emergency @maxpinckers - it really is an incredibly special and important book (to echo many other reviews!). I remember interviewing Geoffrey (quoted below) at his farm and he proudly showed me the photos Max had taken of him.

Last year, I embarked on a profound journey throughout Kenya to document the persistent echoes of colonialism.
It was raw, it was heartbreaking, it was extremely sobering - shorturl.at/0hyAR
