The girl in this photo was doing her PhD and when she told a fellow student her dissertation was on The Boondocks, the student replied: “your existence in the program devalues my degree.”

Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize.
Born on this day, she was a committed environmentalist and founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.

Update from Jamaica: all barriers are now back in operation following Hurricane Melissa.

The Reform MP's racist comments were disgraceful. Her so-called apology doesn't cut it.

It is up to all of us to bravely call out racism - and we will. 👇🏾

Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of supportjamaica.gov.jm, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.
The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts.
Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website.
Visit: supportjamaica.gov.jm
