For over 10 years, the academic and public health sectors have promoted "violence prevention" non-profits as the "evidence based" alternative to mass incarceration and a solution to the shootings plauging American cities.

With the Biden administration set to invest 4 billion dollars in "violence prevention", some fear these services represent a co-option of grassroots anti violence work and an attempt to cash in the public's anxieties around street crime, using the #DefundThePolice movement to strengthen the nonprofit industrial complex.

In this talk, LBS Director of Research Lawrence Grandpre will violence prevention as an example of the need for emancipatory, African Centered research. He'll be diving into the literature to display the limitations in Eurocentric public health methodologies of violence prevention and the need for African centered alternatives.

Ankh Mi Ra - 1995

There is a joke that goes around about how some people started chicken farming with a feather to grow their now expansive farm..ok, that joke is just that, a lame one.. This post is not about a feather or chicken, meet Ann, she started their dairy farm back in 2007 in the wake of the highly contested general election. A true fact to her story is that they started with one zebu cow and kept improving their breed to currently over 150 high yielding dairy cows and 28 bulls. She has gone a step further and started processing the milk into Yoghurt, Mala, and the recent regulation by the government to stop the sale of raw milk brought about a new opportunity.. Ok, find out which this is. In her words, a cow doesn't eat from a plate!! plan your feeds for up-to one year! Also, remember to like, share, and subscribe ahead of an upcoming series on the A-Z of dairy farming which will run on a different YouTube Channel - Dairy TV..... #TwendeKazi
