  1. A long and very personal essay by Karen Attiah about her family history and looted heritage. It is a shame that the former colonial "powers" still think they own stolen goods. Here is a great insight of how this is viewed by their rightful owners:

  4. Grateful.

    They are Wangoni. I am German. I appreciate so much that they share oral history with me. Our dark German-Tanzanian history.

    Only knowing about the past can lead us into a better future. Together we commemorate the #MajiMajiWar .

  5. I don't normally work weekends but I'm on a tight schedule with this book so have a writing day planned for tomorrow. Going to tackle a couple of spreads on decolonising gin.

    I'm gathering sources tonight so I can hit the ground running. I have a few already but am open to suggestions if anyone has anything good to share.
