Iranian hairstylist Ami Moghadam received death threats for posting videos of women receiving haircuts on Instagram. So she decided to troll the Islamic Regime and their oppressive mandatory hijab laws in the most epic, hilarious way possible. 😂

This past weekend I attended the book launch of my youngest student, Una. I am just so happy for her that she can whoosh into the world as an author so young. She will keep creating brilliant and exciting stories. The book is now available across bookstores. Let's make it BIG!
Award-winning author and filmmaker Sihle-isipho Nontshokweni decided to create a four-week online course for emerging writers after years of people asking her for guidance. The Qonce-born author of award-winning children’s book Wanda the Brave said her ... dispatchlive.co.za/lifestyle…

Now that you have heard Magasela, you will not find Bonga's letter anywhere, so here it is. A young black pro refusing to be turned into semi movable furniture. It would be naive to think Bongas experience is an exception Read with an open mind

Apparently, The New Yorker ran a story with an illustration of Wunmi Mosaku that was obviously not intended to represent her well, so I redid it real quick in a similar style. Took 15 minutes & a love of Black women ❤️

We’re not talking about Masali Baduza’s success enough. Born and bred in East London, South Africa. Gracing our screen on one of the biggest shows in the world, Bridgerton. I’m so chuffed about her! ♥️

someone told me yesterday that when they feel nervous about trying something new & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their “inner applause” because their body is cheering them on, and i think that’s the best narrative adjustment ever.

The arts were such an integral part of the fight against Apartheid. I truly wish the government did more to echo the importance of arts and culture.

On this World Children’s Day, we honour the joy, potential and worth of every child in South Africa and across the globe. This annual day of action marks the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and reminds us that children’s rights are human rights. I reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every child has access to quality foundational learning, a safe and inclusive school environment, and the opportunity to thrive. No child should ever feel unsafe, unheard, or left behind! Let us remember: investing in children is investing in our future. When children receive the education, support and protection they deserve, our society becomes stronger, fairer and more resilient. Our children deserve nothing less. Happy World Children’s Day! 🌎🇿🇦 #WorldChildrensDay #ChildRights #EducationForAll

Today, on the sidelines of the G20 Social Summit, I joined the Roger Federer Foundation and global partners for an important dialogue on why Early Childhood Development must be at the centre of global development. A new learning brief launched by the Roger Federer Foundation shows clearly that investing in the early years does more than support education, it accelerates multiple G20 priorities at once: ✅ stronger human capital ✅ women’s employment and local economic activity ✅ improved child nutrition and wellbeing ✅ social protection and inclusion ✅ resilience and long-term growth Today’s conversation reaffirmed that if we want to build stronger, fairer societies, we must start by giving every child the strongest possible foundation.
