Fascinating network of creators, and industry professionals. Thank you for sharing this @SUCULTURE and @camilleselvon.

@SUCULTURE Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter is a jaw-dropping ode to Black music, and a recognition of country artists such Linda Martell, Charley Pride and, more recently, Mickey Guyton, Darius Rucker, and Kane Brown, who have been historical excluded from the genre.
Its great @Beyoncé is using her album and platform to shine a light on a part of history, and country music pioneers that many people may not know, including entitling one of the tracks as “The Linda Martell Show,” – a tribute of course to Linda Martell.
Amazing album!

Very insightful written piece @SUCULTURE.
Achieving gender-inclusive governance and transformative politics requires a multi-faceted approach that removes cultural barriers to women’s political participation, representation and leadership; challenges oppressive representation, addresses legal, policy, and institutional norms, and envisions more inclusive and equitable cultural landscapes.

A very detailed article on the issues of knife crime @SUCULTURE.
There are concerns regarding Government’s approach to tackling knife crime. It’s clear that serious youth violence, including knife crime, is symptomatic of deeper socio-economic issues that have been exacerbated by years of cuts to public services.
It is mind-boggling to see how the government can merely arrest and sentence their way out of this crisis, while not effectively addressing the underlying issues.
Moreover, the statistics highlighting the disproportionate targeting of young Black men through stop and search are deeply troubling and indicative of systemic biases within law enforcement. Before any extension of stop and search powers is considered, it is imperative that this disproportionality is addressed head-on.
In addition to addressing the imbalance in stop and search practices, there is a pressing need for education and awareness campaigns to inform young people of their rights when stopped and searched. Empowering individuals with this knowledge is essential in ensuring accountability and preventing potential abuses of power.
I would argue that, establishing clear mechanisms for submitting complaints about the conduct of stop and search procedures is crucial in holding law enforcement officers accountable and fostering trust between communities, and the police.
Ultimately, addressing knife crime and serious youth violence requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the root causes of these issues while simultaneously ensuring fairness, accountability, and respect for the rights of youths who are most affected.

@Zubenathi “One Love” – is a soul-stirring tribute to Bob Marley!
“Bob Marley: One Love” weaves a vibrant tapestry of rhythm, rebellion, and redemption, celebrating the indomitable spirit of the reggae legend.
Kingsley Ben-Adir’s portrayal captures the essence of Bob – the lionhearted poet, the unyielding advocate for peace, and the pied piper of freedom. From the sun-kissed beaches of Jamaica to the pulsating energy of sold-out concerts, witnessing Marley’s evolution from a struggling artist to a global icon; including, of course the darker sides of Marley’s life – the political turmoil, the personal demons, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
Yet, it’s his music that transcends time.
In a world that often forgets its prophets, “Bob Marley: One Love” reminds us that music can heal, unite, and ignite change.

A negative decline in the worth of a currency relative to other currencies or commodities, constitutes inflation relative to those currencies/commodities. The price of a currency is determined by its relative supply and demand dynamics, with demand contingent upon the worth of commodities or other currencies that can be acquired using it.
As a result, the acquisition of less desirable local goods, regardless of the rationale, signifies an alternative manifestation of currency devaluation. Mitigating the escalation in the local currency’s supply growth relative to the expansion in the supply of dollars is the sole measure capable of remedying the devaluation in its purchasing power.

@africamonetary, I agree with the rationale and purpose of having a financial instrument, such as a Diaspora Bond, but a number of conditions need to be met.
Legal Systems: Countries with strong and transparent legal systems for contract enforcement find it easier to issue such bonds.
Civil Stability: Absence of civil strife is an important factor.
Presence of Institutions: Having strong institutions, including national banks and other institutions in destination countries are important to guarantee bonds.
