A Pan-Afrikanist perspective on current affairs on the Afrikan continent. The first segment of #AllEyesOnAfrika focuses on Ghana-Italy relations. Shoutout to ShakaRa Ɔkyeame ❤️🖤💚 and gotKushtv for the platform.

THIS JUST IN: A Phil Mendelson staffer just told community members at the Ward 8 Education Council Town Hall that the council will host a hearing in mid-late June about the four truancy bills (@RobertWhite_DC, Councilmember Zachary Parker, Charles Allen, Mayor Muriel Bowser) currently on the table.

I spoke with Tia Bell of The TRIGGER Project #WeArePrevention about her violence prevention journey and what's coming next.

ICYMI: Mayor Muriel Bowser defended her efforts to repeal the Schools First in Budgeting Amendment Act, saying it violates Home Rule.

For my latest Washington Informer story, I spoke with Melina Abdullah about her and Cornel West's historic electoral run for the White House. I also spoke with RealTimBlack, who recently interviewed both of them on his program. washingtoninformer.com/dr-melina-abdu…
