ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK – MAGDA TEDLA, TRAINED FOOD NUTRITIONIST FROM ERITREA

As a trained nutritionist I have developed a nutrition education program which focuses mainly on children and young adults. During the course entitled “Healthy Cooking and Nutrition”, which runs weekly, I seek to train and encourage the attendees, leaving them well-grounded in the area of proper cooking methods and healthy food selection.

Besides that, I also focus on giving cooking classes in the traditional food history of African countries. I mainly focus on the herbs, traditions, and ingredients which benefit our health. I also like to give classes on how colonialism affected for example the food history of different African and South American countries like Brazil.

My last workshop was about Afrobrazilian food. We spoke about slavery as well as traditions which are due to southwestern African countries like Angola, Nigeria, Ghana etc. and are still to find in Bahia. With my business, I try to build bridges between different cultures and forms of nutrition. 

Therefore I offer Online Workshops, Cooking Classes, Consultation Services, Caterings, Kids Birthday Parties and much more.

ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK, MR ROBERT QUARSHIE – BASED IN GERMANY

Robert Quarshie – Managing Director. BCom Hons. (Econ and Info Sys)

Our blogs and its contents are not aimed at politicising, advocating against any race, gender, religion, economic or ethnic group but will instead deal with the commonalities in all humanity.

Everything observed and acquired from my(not too long ago) existence to now, including personal life experiences, have prepared me for this journey and role to disseminate knowledge (I love teaching and helping) that is most commonly known, however, but to present it logically to help people understand and use it to their benefit.

As someone very passionate about poverty alleviation and development of human living conditions I believe a solid grasp of finance (via education) and the liberating advent of technology can help people in developing countries such as Ghana (my country of birth), other African nations and people in the diaspora rise to a level where there is no poverty famine or exploitation of human capital.

You can expect to read about almost everything from Technology, new Economics (fiscal and monetary policy), FinTech, Business, Psychology, Investment, to Sales, Marketing, Communications, and just plain common sense!

Robert q2Debunqed will, as a business, supply necessary software & IT advice (cloud-based), via the sale & support of well-recognised software brands. This while integrating finance & investing ideas (branded & customised solutions) as a ‘Fintech’ consultancy.

 

“Reggae Music” from Jamaica makes UNESCO world heritage list

The UN’s cultural agency said reggae music has contributed to “international discourse on issues” such as injustice and resistance. Kingston has described the music tradition as “uniquely Jamaican.”

The United Nations’ cultural and scientific agency UNESCO on Thursday added reggae music to its list of global cultural treasures, saying its worldwide popularity “continues to act as a voice for all.”.

“Its contribution to international discourse on issues of injustice, resistance, love and humanity underscores the dynamics of the element as being at once cerebral, sociopolitical, sensual and spiritual,” UNESCO said.

 

Jamaica had pushed for the rich music tradition to be listed as “intangible cultural heritage,” and as such, deemed worthy of protection under UNESCO.

Ahead of the vote, Jamaican Culture Minister Olivia Grange said that her country pushed for reggae to be added to the prestigious list as a “uniquely Jamaican” musical tradition that has touched communities across the globe.
