💔 I’m shook at how shook I am. Benjamin Zephaniah was one of the arsenal of amazing Black British people pied pipering hearts and hopes ever onwards & I guess didn’t even notice myself being shaped by the space he held. What an amazing, joyful voice. Thank you. ❤️

🌍 In sub-Saharan #Africa, an estimated 600 million people lack access to #energy.
⚡ Electrifying the region would cost $20 billions a year, which becomes even more complex if we push for greener energy.
@GCSF24 talked to @nj_ayuk, the chairman of the African Energy Chamber ⤵️
