This is arguably the most comprehensive timeline summary I’ve encountered, detailing events leading up to, and following the Doctrine of Discovery.
It offers an in-depth and accurate depiction of historical developments, with bibliographic references and notes, which is very helpful for further scholarly, independent research.
Incorporating references significantly enhances its academic rigor; with valuable terms and references to guide further inquiry.
Brilliantly done!

The article leans heavily into the symbolic importance of a Black female president.
A deeper dive into how the policies championed by a Black female politicians, such as equitable healthcare, criminal justice reform, or economic support for disadvantaged communities, aligning with a broader agenda for equality would have provided practical outcomes for U.S communities.
A symbolic victory to vote the first Black female president has indeed been missed.

I will also add that BRICS’ cautious approach to establishing independent trade and payment mechanisms can be seen as prudent rather than a lack of strategic coherence. Instead of rushing into rigid frameworks, BRICS has laid the groundwork for a long-term vision that supports financial sovereignty for member nations, which has the potential to evolve into a sustainable model. Recent discussions around de-dollarization and alternative trading mechanisms, while still developing, indicate that BRICS is actively pursuing ways to increase its members’ economic autonomy from Western structures, especially important in the wake of geopolitical tensions.

@genztalks, Interesting perspective.
The approach by BRICS highlights the unique value of diversity within the alliance and the gradual, measured approach it is taking to reshape the global economic order. While BRICS countries may have diverse economic models and political interests, this diversity can actually enhance the coalition’s adaptability and relevance. The differences among member states allow BRICS to appeal to a wider array of developing nations, thereby fostering a genuinely multipolar and inclusive alternative to Western-dominated frameworks.
Note: The European Union also experienced this gradual evolution [from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1951, followed by the European Economic Community (EEC) and so on] – with internal conflicts leading up to BREXIT!

@genztalks, While this offers a positive outlook on the burgeoning creator economy, yet it prompts a critical examination of ethical considerations within this space.
As influencers increasingly act as entrepreneurs, the responsibility to engage in ethical marketing practices becomes paramount.
The blurring lines between personal branding and commercial promotion may lead to ethical dilemmas, particularly concerning transparency and consumer protection.
Ensuring that followers are aware of sponsored content and that creators adhere to truthful representations of their products is essential for maintaining trust.
The industry’s growth could also benefit from establishing clearer guidelines and regulations surrounding influencer marketing, which would not only protect consumers but also enhance the legitimacy of the creator economy as a whole. Thus, while the future looks bright for these creators, ethical considerations must remain at the forefront of their entrepreneurial endeavors.

This is an inspiring and exciting development! Idris Elba’s commitment to relocating and investing in Africa’s film industry is a major boost for the continent’s creative landscape.
His plans to establish studios and support local storytelling reflect a genuine dedication to elevating African voices and narratives on a global scale.
With his star power and experience, he’s in a strong position to create new opportunities for African talent both in front of and behind the camera, paving the way for authentic stories that resonate worldwide. This move will not only strengthen the industry but also inspire other filmmakers and investors to recognize Africa’s potential as a filmmaking hub.

Interesting article @Charlotte.
Elba’s portrayal of Okonkwo could also inspire a more complex understanding of African masculinity.
Okonkwo, as a character, embodies both strength and tragic vulnerability. Elba’s range as an actor offers the potential to explore these complexities in ways that resonate with contemporary audiences, drawing out the universal aspects of the story while preserving its uniquely African context. His previous roles, including in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, illustrate his ability to embody iconic African figures with sensitivity and nuance, suggesting that his Okonkwo will be both powerful and layered.
