WAME MOLEFHE is a Motswana writer who lives in Gaborone, Botswana. Her short story collection, ‘Just Once,’ is taught in junior secondary schools in Botswana. Her other collection, ‘Go Tell the Sun,’  was published in 2011. Molefhe started writing seriously in 2008 and, since then, she has not only written short stories but for TV and radio too. She also writes non-fiction. Most of her stories are about everyday life and have a gentle, unassuming yet intimate and captivating feel to them. Set in Botswana, the stories trace the lives of characters whose paths cross and re-cross each others', some times in and through love, at other times through tragedy. And through them the author brings to bear a woman's perspective on the societal mores in which sexual abuse, homophobia and AIDS, among others, flourish and spread. The social content and views are never proclaimed as a loud agenda; instead, it forms a 'natural' backdrop to the lives of the characters, something that may raise a wry comment or thought in one character, while eliciting a mere shrug from another. Molefhe's voice is, to some extent, a world-weary voice, weary of all she has seen of society's failures, but never without the gentleness often absent and much needed in broken societies, and never without the hope and redemption that can be found in love and the imagination.

GOTHATAONE MOENG is a fiction writer from Serowe, Botswana. She was a 2018-2020 Stegner Fellow in Fiction. Her writing has also received fellowships and support from Tin House, where she was a 2019 Summer Workshop scholar and from A Public Space, where she was a 2016 Emerging Writer Fellow. Her writing has appeared in American Short Fiction, One Story, A Public Space and the Oxford American, amongst others.

FATIMA MERNISSI (1940-2015) was a Moroccan sociologist and writer. Born in Fez to a middle-class family, Mernissi studied at the Mohammed V University in Rabat and later went to Paris, where she worked briefly as a journalist. She pursued her graduate education in the United States and in 1973 obtained a PhD in sociology from Brandeis University. Returning to Morocco, she joined the sociology department at Mohammed V University, where she long lectured while also holding a research appointment at the Moroccan Institut Universitaire de Recherche Scientifique, also in Rabat.

As one of the best known Arab-Muslim feminists, Mernissi 's influence extends beyond a narrow circle of intellectuals. She is a recognized public figure in her own country and abroad, especially in France, where she is well known in feminist circles. Her major books have been translated into several languages, including English, German, Dutch, and Japanese. She writes regularly on women's issues in the popular press, participates in public debates promoting the cause of Muslim women internationally, and has supervised the publication of a series of books on the legal status of women in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.

Mernissi 's work explores the relationship between sexual ideology, gender identity, sociopolitical organization, and the status of women in Islam; her special focus, however, is Moroccan society and culture. As a feminist, her work represents an attempt to undermine the ideological and political systems that silence and oppress Muslim women. She does this in two ways: first, by challenging the dominant Muslim male discourse concerning women and their sexuality, and second, by providing the “silent” woman with a “voice” to tell her own story.

The Forgotten Queens of Islam, Translated by Mary Jo Lakeland was published by Cambridge, U.K., 1993.

KENZA BENABDERRAZIK is a lecturer and researcher whose work addresses food and agricultural systems transformations.

She particularly enjoys learning and exploring ways to inspire sustainable change. Kenza grew up in Morocco and maintains a strong link with the country and its environmental dynamics.

American stand-up comedian, actor and producer, Dave Chappelle has announced plans to move to West Africa, particularly Ghana. The comedian revealed that, he was inspired by the decision of multiple Grammy award winning musician, Stevie Wonder to move to Ghana permanently. 

In an interview with Naomi Campbell, Dave said that, “You gotta think as a Black American who amongst us is more valued and respected than Stevie Wonder and the idea that he would feel this way at this stage in his life and career…I think that Stevie is the soul of American culture and if the soul leaves the body then this thing is dead. Then I thought I’ll follow him over there, or I’ll go myself. I’ll do it for him.”

Dave who happens to listen to the musician closely over the years revealed that, the recent decision taken by Stevie Wonder was a product of a long time plan he had; according to him, Stevie has since been talking about this move.
“Those in the room that knows Stevie personally he’s said this thing many times through the years that we’ve known him. But this last time he said it, what he said was ‘I am moving to Ghana so that I can be valued and respected more’, that’s almost exactly the phrase he used,” Dave told Campbell.

The comedian has already commenced plans to prepare the grounds for his relocation to Africa as he has started surveying places to help build a comedy hub in the West African country. “We have been working together, hopefully, I’ll build something there, but I am definitely going to at least rent something for the foreseeable future, and I hope to open a comedy club there because there’s none,” he said.

Award winning musician, Stevie Wonder blamed systemic racism and discrimination as one of his major reasons for taking the bold decision to move to Ghana; “I don’t want to see my children’s children’s children have to say, ‘Oh please like me. Please respect me, please know that I am important, please value me.’ What is that?” the musician told Oprah Winfrey in an interview.

Library. Literary Salon. Literature House.

The “Boldest Man On The ‘Net” LanceScurv has built an underground following in cyberspace with his multiple talents that is nothing short of phenomenal. He accomplished this by using his abilities to tackle the social issues of the day that the mainstream media is deathly afraid to touch, hence, his long period of incubation under the radar of the more traditional mediums of gaining exposure.

His multiple roles as a Podcast Talk Show Host, Blogger, Editorial Cartoonist & Social Media Activist have struck the psyche of his fans with a pin point accuracy and assessment of the “social issue pulse” as well as a willingness to constantly remain accessible to those who take the time to sample his work.

LanceScurv has become for many the “go to mouthpiece” of the people because this is the area of service where he draws his most inspiration and gains his most satisfaction from through his creative areas of expertise.

“Most people feel a great frustration and a powerlessness to express their deepest social concerns in an ever changing world and are overjoyed to meet someone like myself who focuses on the very issues that affect their lives intimately in a very public way.”

His online presence began back in 2002 on AOL and later BlackPlanet where he would share his hard hitting sketches with anyone who cared to sample them and soon found himself inundated with hundreds of e-mail messages from across the globe inquiring about the motivation and thoughts behind his work.

The amount of time that it took for him to respond to each and every e-mail message sent to him led him to begin to write about what inspired each piece to meet the demand to understand the motivation behind his art with a deeper clarity.

The demand for his style of writing soon took off on its own and his following grew because of it as he now writes a daily article on the many sides of the human experience in the same brutally honest raw gritty manner that he prided himself in the presentation of his artwork.

For years his close contacts urged him after the popularity of his street videos proved what an engaging high energy comedic personality that he possessed to start an internet radio show as a means of mingling directly with those who enjoy his work worldwide and to add that extra dimension of intimacy that many artists are lacking with their most dedicated following.

Amazingly, The LanceScurv Show has been a favorite to countless fans from many diverse backgrounds who look forward his open forum style of presentation that allows for honest discussion with the many usually separated factions of society who don’t often get the opportunity to safely and anonymously share their true feelings without having to be concerned with political correctness.

“Many in the world and especially this country, have remained mentally suspended in an outdated time period with the presumptions about others that are not based on actual interaction or fact, but on what they see on the television and internet which can be so tainted from the actual reality. With so many means of instant communication available to us today, we have failed to utilize the great tools of  internet, computers, smartphones and have actually become even more disconnected from each other, it’s time to now change that!”

The LanceScurv Show, like his art, blogs and videos, aims to educate, enlighten, inspire and empower those listeners and participants through the much needed healthy discussions that have been long overdue to smash the barriers of ignorance that have kept us as a human family separated for too long.

It’s a new day and it is time to broaden our minds to grow as a people and LanceScurv is definitely on the front lines of this righteous battle for the positive social awareness of all!
