Do you know how iconic/historic it is for Beyonce to start Texas Hold 'Em with a banjo, an African instrument our ancestors brought over here and was appropriated by white country music? To start her new joint with African sounds and move it into Black American southern roots as part of the diaspora is HUGE. Okay, lemme go relax. The historian and Black music lover in me is so geeked right now! Solange and Beyonce are shaping music culture so much and I want people to know about it!

Jaja's African Hair Braiding
Written by Jocelyn Bioh
Dir. Whitney White
Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, 2023
This dazzling world premiere welcomes you into Jaja’s bustling hair braiding shop in Harlem where every day, a lively and eclectic group of West African immigrant hair braiders are creating masterpieces on the heads of neighborhood women. During one sweltering summer day, love will blossom, dreams will flourish and secrets will be revealed. The uncertainty of their circumstances simmers below the surface of their lives and when it boils over, it forces this tight-knit community to confront what it means to be an outsider on the edge of the place they call home.

South Africa prepares to release Charlie the zoo elephant into the wild
12 August 2024
The Zimbabwean-born elephant was captured in 1984 and brought to South Africa as a circus elephant when he was just two years old.
In 2001, he was placed in the zoo, where he became one of the main attractions. He will finally be set free at the age of 42.

Today's silly guy is the Serval ( Leptailurus serval ).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Servals are wild cats native to Africa, and are found in eastern and southern parts of the continent.
They have the longest ears and legs compared to their body size of any cat.
They are expert grassland hunters.
They use their huge ears to pinpoint the rustling produced by their victims and then pounce with great accuracy.
Prey are killed by a bite to the neck, which breaks the spine and severs the windpipe.
Tumblr media
They might be a fearsome predator in the grasslands of Africa but they're also just silly little guys doing their silly little things.
