    Thrilled to announce that my first academic paper, in which I argue for the benefits of transitioning agricultural supply chains to a subscription farming model in Uganda, has just been published by @FletcherForum static1.squarespace.com/static/579fc2a…

    Jumia is not African startup. It is a company duly incorporated in Germany by 2 French founders who are Co-CEOs. A non-exhaustive reference to its Germanness can be found here in their Form F-1 filings with the SEC. sec.gov/Archives/edgar… A ka thread for those who don't read:

    Africans (& black people in general), STOP FIGHTING FOR A DAMN SEAT AT THE WHITE TABLE. All that effort legitimizes their table & erases yours. Build your own damn table. There’s >1 billion Africans on this continent. That’s one hell of a table. Why you busy delegitimizing it?

    Just finished delivery of 1 tonne of moringa powder to @MinofHealthUG donated by employees and farmers at @RT_farms. Humbling to see Ugandan businesses chip in to support the effort. #covid19

    We need to address this visa injustice. It’s time we talked about #visareciprocity. If you apply these rules to Ugandans going abroad. Same rules should apply to foreigners visiting Uganda. Enough is enough. And Africa, it’s time to drop the visa requirements to visit each other

    Love our new food packaging at @RollKla for all our rolex products. Inspired by our new menu item: the Chicken Luwombo special. Wrapped in co-friendly banana leaves, and keeps the food warmer. #thisishowwerollex

    Some highlights from #Rwenzori2022 summit climb while I continue to edit shots: day 1 was mostly @rkabushenga rethinking his life choices and why it led him here 😂😂😂😂 But he was more than ready!

    While on the #Rwenzori2022 trek, we discovered a new super hero called #Spidershenga. Check out the super hero landing @rkabushenga had to master to keep from falling in rough terrain.

    Taking African revenue does not make you African!!? You are a European company. Own it! We’ll use your services but be honest about your identity.
