Really excited to ramp up compelling conversation around the Black Francophone world and we have so much more to come. Thank you to Ruth Mudingayi for her writing here: https://africasacountry.com/2024/03/congo-beyond-the-hashtags

Please continue to pitch me your ideas. Rates start at $200 depending on length and complexity.
