Read Binyavanga Wainaina‘How to Write about Africa’
“Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has
won the Nobel Prize. An AK-47, prominent ribs, naked breasts: use
these. If you must include an African, make sure you get one in Masai or
Zulu or Dogon dress”

Final Quote
"This nation was built by men who took risks - pioneers who were not
afraid of the wilderness, business men who were not afraid of failure,
scientists who were not afraid of the truth, thinkers who were not afraid of
progress, dreamers who were not afraid of action”
~Brooks Atkinson
