this absolutely broke my heart.

“You don’t look African”

Considering Africa is a continent with 54 different countries and over 3000 different ethnic groups, it really shouldn’t surprise people that there is no one set look for an African. 

Afar people:

San people:

Amazigh people:

Oromo people:

Hausa people:

Masai people:

Edo people:

Wodaabe people:

These are just 8 of the over 3000 ethnic groups in Africa, and you can already see how beautiful and varied the people of Africa are.

Fatima Al Qadiri on the Risks of Making Queer Arabic Dance Music

“I’ve been exploring gender performativity in the Gulf since I was a teenager. I’m not a gender anthropologist, but I feel like there’s an extreme binary between femininity and masculinity in the Gulf. From a young age, I knew I didn’t want to be part of it. Gender is a huge gray area, and the problem with defined roles is that they cover up undefined ones.”
