Hello hello hello,

I got to thinking recently and said to myself:

It would be really cool if one of my readers wrote a guest post.

So, in short, that is what I need help with. Now as I write this, I have already contacted a few of you and asked if you are ready, willing and able to contribute a guest post to tDA. Now I see some of you asking,

But Mwangi, whatever shall I write about?

I Am Glad You Asked

Seeing as this is the blog dedicated to happiness and peace of mind of Africans in the diaspora AND a lot of y’all, actually most of you reading, are in the diaspora, I would love to know about your experiences and especially the things you have learned along the way. Some of the formats that this article can take are:

a) Top 7 Things I Have Learned Living in Sydney/ Boston/ Coppanhagen etc etc

b) The Story of the Day You Knew You Were an African Immigrant

c) Story of a Day You Triumphed Over Adversity

d) Whatever you feel about writing about, as long as it teaches other people something.

But What If I Am Shy About Talking About Myself

If that is the case, then allow me to recommend that you write a rebuttal post to one of my more controversial posts. Feel free to call me a naive, badly chopped, lemon-head if you please, as long as your rebuttal helps other people. The more controversial posts in the history of the Displaced African are:

a) Jungle Fever: The Relationship Between African Men and White Women

b) Promiscuity Making a Man a Stud and a Woman a Whore IS NOT a Double Standard. Here’s Why?

c) The Empty Symbol That is Barrack Obama

d) For the Ladies: Stop Complaining

Anyway, I am really looking forward to seeing what people can come up with. My first ever guest post, 7 Barriers to an Immigrant’s Success, did very well and is one of the most read articles in the history of this blog.

Let me sign off here by saying:

If you are tempted by the idea and not quite sure whether or not you should. DO IT! I had no idea what I was doing when I first started writing this blog, but in retrospect it’s turned out pretty OK. Plus, I do not bite

To finish off: You see, people aren’t only ignorant about the complexity of Africa. Watch below and be amazed! Thanks Caustic Blonde for bringing this brilliant piece of television to my attention.

Be blessed and bless others,

Mwangi
