An absolute must listen. Thank you Sam Oti. It’s time to reset the rules of engagement with donors and introduce a new public health order in Africa.

#Haiti was the first country in the world to permanently abolish slavery & the slave trade. Haitians dealt a decisive blow to the entire system of slavery. Our ancestors became a threat to the existing world order. Haitian history is world history. Happy Haitian Heritage Month!🇭🇹

Look: your ability to participate in a given society/ community is directly proportionate to how safe you feel in that society/ community. Let that sink in first. So when you are demonised, maligned, overlooked, discriminated or marginalised, the trauma response is to withdraw.

I can totally relate to the fumbling over a name - most people automatically think my name will be too difficult to pronounce. I’m so glad Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu made the presenter pronounce her name properly before they even got into the interview. #SayMyName

Happy Flag Day to Haitians worldwide. We can learn a lesson or two from Haitians in taking back power in the international development sector ⁦Bertrhude Albert, Ph.D.⁩ ⁦Rethinking Global Health⁩ rethinkingglobalhealth.com/home/celebrati…

It's 2023 and we are still doing foreign donor branded conferences and workshops in elite hotels about the lives of the "poor". Attended by foreign heads of aid and Ambassadors. So much for reimagining/reforming #aid #globaldev

Powerful address from South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 to a room of world leaders on the resentment felt by Africans at having to beg for #COVID19 vaccines and then being blocked from manufacturing vaccines on the continent. #PeoplesVaccine 1/

People who can’t tell the difference between Cap-Haïtien and Port-au-Prince on a map feel the need to shame me for working in #Haiti amidst US warnings to leave. Haiti is more than our capital city. Moreover, Haiti is our inheritance. We’re staying and fighting for change. 🇭🇹
