what happened last week
Hey there, my name is Sham Jaff, and I write a weekly newsletter about the "global majority"/"global south" – asia, africa and the americas.why?
Each Monday, I highlight some of the biggest stories from there – regions and countries that are historically underreported in "Western" (whatever that means) media. My goal is to burst our European-US-centric bubbles, and expand the view we hold of the world and the people who live in it. I've been doing this since 2014.what do i get?
