I have been working on migrating my blog and allowing myself to focus on all things African and African American. In spite of the conversation carried on last week about whether African Americans should in fact call themselves that, we are one people. There are Africans all over the World, yearning for the connection to Africa and other Africans and there are Africans yearning for the connections to their brothers and sisters who live abroad.

The interesting part of this journey has been finding African groups on small islands in the Pacific. Almost like a half-way group between the Aboriginal groups of Australia and New Zealand and Africa and I'm scratching the place where my beard should be (if I were a man) and thinking about the continued migration of African people around the World. Since the first group of people left, we know we've been sending people out of the homeland since.
So, to cater to the needs of those who are yearning for the connection back to the Motherland - the glorious, rich and lush continent of Africa - whether it was severed in generations past or you just moved to the West(or east) for school, I present you with the first two in a series of papers for your computers, tablets and mobile phones.
The Connected African - connects you to news articles and personal views coming out of Africa and Black America, in the major languages of our groups, English, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili and Amharic. If you download Google Chrome you can modify your settings so that the pages will always be translated for you into the language you are most comfortable with.
Connected Africans - brings you to the news articles and blogs of the decendants of Africans around the World. Right now they are mostly in English.
