Stop trying to save Afrika (excerpt)
''There is no African, myself included, who does not appreciate the help of the wider world, but we do question whether aid is genuine or given in the spirit of affirming one’s cultural superiority.
My mood is dampened every time I attend a benefit whose host runs through a litany of African disasters before presenting a (usually) wealthy, white person, who often proceeds to list the things he or she has done for the poor, starving Africans.
Every time a well-meaning college student speaks of villagers dancing because they were so grateful for her help, I cringe. Every time a Hollywood director shoots a film about Africa that features a Western protagonist, I shake my head — because Africans, real people though we may be, are used as props in the West’s fantasy of itself.
And not only do such depictions tend to ignore the West’s prominent role in creating many of the unfortunate situations on the continent, they also ignore the incredible work Africans have done and continue to do to fix those problems.''

The New African Photography - Emeka Okereke: Invisible Borders
"100 years ago, photography was a colonial tool…"
"A photography is a window and not the view" - Emeka Okereke
For decades, the camera was used as a tool through which colonial governments and Western photojournalists alike imposed their own views on Africa through the restrictions of 2D imagery, defining Africa without much, if any, input from those whose faces were plastered on postcards, posters, magazines and media platforms across the world.
Profiling a new crop of African photographers using their lens to transform and inspire both change and development, Al Jazeera opens us up to the world of Nigerian photographer Emeka Okereke, founder of Invisible Borders - a organization that gives ‘African artists a space to define Africa for themselves’. In this video, the group travels on their annual roadtrip within Africa, going from Lagos to Kinshasa, as a means of developing young African artists through the lens of photojournalism.
A must-watch journey.
You can also watch the journey of Baudouin Mouanda in Kongo.
''In Congolese Dreams , we follow Mouanda as he works on his latest project, The Dream. Through this project, he explores beauty in unlikely places -- by asking women to pose in the same white wedding dress in different locations - from rubbish dumps to crowded trains.''

Meine klene Schwester mit side Puff
Meine kleine Prinzessin ist erst zwei Jahre alt. Sie weisst immer welche Frisur sie gerne haben möchte.
Heute wollte sie ein hoher Puff mit Bobbypins .
Jaaa das hat sie mir gesagt, ich wünschte ich hätte ein Video gemacht !
Ich habe ihre Haare normal gewaschen und beim stylen etwas Mandel Öl benutzt.
Das Ergebnis:
Sieht sie nicht zucker süß aus :D ???????

!To all my Soul music Lover! Al Green Fav's
Ich bin ein großer fan von Al green!!
Er ist für mich einer der besten Soul Sänger aller Zeiten.
In jeden seiner Songs steckt so viel Emotion und Gefühl, jede Note stimmt, man FÜHLT
wirklich die Music.
Heutzutage findet man eher selten solche Lieder, der Kontext ist ganz anders, alles inszeniert, kein Soul, man fühlt die Music nicht mehr meiner Meinung nach. SCHADE!
Hier sind einiger meiner lieblings Songs von AL green.
