Une Immense Perte
Tierno Siradio Bah a rejoint sa dernière demeure. Il est parti à tout jamais. Avec sa mort, la Guinée a perdu un intellectuel doté d’une conviction morale dont la contribution à l’intelligentsia africaine est inestimable et immesurable. La collecte de fonds de 2014 me permit de te côtoyer et de travailler avec toi pour la
L’indignité dans la pauvreté
Auparavant, le malheur de ceux qui traversaient Linsan n’était qu’une idée. À partir des États-Unis, je lisais des articles et écoutais des témoignages.

Learning from President Trump
When a system conceives God as politic and Politic as God, it produces individuals like Donald Trump; someone deprives of any moral conviction and driven by the love of power, attention and recognition.

Anthony Bourdain’s Suicide and Happiness
With the sudden, unexpected death and apparent suicide of Anthony Bourdain, we are reminded that each of us is fighting their own internal battle.

The value of Scalability in the nonprofit sector
Scalability is key to success in business. It pushes us to make our products affordable and accessible. Unfortunately, whenever we think about scalability, we tend to focus on products or customers.
