I am so excited to announce that @lynseychutel and I have done a cool thing, we wrote a BOOK! 'Coloured: How Calssification became Culture' is a labour of love and our way of #CelebratingColoured. Will tell you when you can get your copy! Here is the first look at our baby🎉

COVER REVEAL: ‘What are you?’ I’ve been asked this question too many times. To be Coloured in South Africa is to be assumed to be lost, without culture. What are we? So many stories. #Coloured - How a Classification became Culture w ⁦@Tessa_Dooms⁩ is out in September

Even on twitter, there is no more subsidy.

I’m proud to live in a country whose scientists have consistently shown themselves to be ahead of the curve in identifying #COVID19 variants that are already emerging in far more resourced nations. I’m perplexed and angry that their excellence and ethics continue to be punished
