#african studies

Over the past 5 months I’ve been either EXTREMELY busy or for some reason of my own fault unable to make new content. This hasn’t stopped me from expanding and refining the information I have archived and bookmarked in the form of hundreds of articles, books/PDFs, documentaries, etc. I’m simply on a whole different path right now trying to take fashion design courses, working on getting this dropshipping shit together, in the process of desperately trying to move out of where I am now, and helping my mom at all costs; And it’s starting to become totally unfeasable to be in a location where I’m constantly tempted, or faced, with a lack of productive activities and opportunities.

And yes, my damn laptop screen is still cracked. If I can see enough support I’ll also launch my Patreon soon. Ima share more details on that and what all of my patrons would get in return later. I have a lot of expenses and content creation is definitely one that doesn’t come first on the spectrum between wants and needs, so I would appreciate any monetary support in the future to keep this shit moving. Much of what I’ve already provided includes information behind university paywalls and libraries that I had to get out of my own money; it’s a lot harder to actually get citations than it might seem. Not everything is going to pop up in your search engine, even with Google Scholar.

I’m sitting on A LOT of stuff right now. I do have one post that might be in the works within the next few days, however. Courtesy to @medievalpoc for sharing the link to it originally; I’m sharing more in detail (you’ll see).

And btw, thank you for 4,000 followers in 1 year! I appreciate all the support and hope yall continue to learn something new from my blog. As of now, I’m probably just going to be reposting my oldest stuff for those who haven’t been here that long or scrolled that far. Thanks.
