Hi Hippies!!! I’ve missed you guys! Every week I don’t get to share stories and thoughts with you feels like an entire week of not talking to your closest friends.

The voices of the African Youth are being heard and I am optimistic that a wave of progressive change is imminent. As my African-American friend, Yaz, would say “Africa, Your Time Is NOW!” However, because …
