?? Huge congratulations to Bronwen Everill, a current Creative Writing MFA student, on the release of her book Africonomics: A History of Western Ignorance! ??

Everill dismantles the misguided premise that African economies must mirror Western ones, shifting the narrative from Western ignorance to African knowledge.
