I may have to rewrite this profile because I've changed a lot.

I've taught myself about African History and my opinions change fairly often (it can be annoying) because I consider different perspectives a lot.

"We must learn to live the African way. It is the only way to live in freedom and with dignity." - Thomas Sankara

My current stance is that we should all cast our votes for candidates we believe have our interests at heart (not parties) whether they eventually count or not.

A good leader is a good leader regardless of their educational qualifications or whether they speak English.

We should start a continental party with a focus of getting members into grassroot government positions across Africa. We can only change things for the better if the people representing us act in our collective interest. We believe the positive impact of our party at the local and state level will build support that will catapult us to the regional, national and continental level.

We should also start a free good quality school for Africans that is crowdfunded, digital-based and ensures every student has a laptop and an internet connection.

I keep thinking up solutions because just talking on this app will get us nowhere. Even if it's just a concrete plan, let's come up with actions that involve YOU AND ME and have a chance of changing things.

I have a club named 'Sankara' after Thomas Isadore Sankara who did so well in four years as the president of the African country of Burkina Faso that he was murdered by imperialists in a cowardly attempt to reduce the spread of such ideals.

It's a space for solutions and action, not just talk.
