🖤 Deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Jason Arday. His contribution to academia, representation and the visibility of Black voices will not be forgotten.
No one is without flaws! Despite the allegations and complexities surrounding his legacy, I believe we can still acknowledge the impact of his work while holding space for difficult conversations.
His passing is also a reminder of why we must continue to create our own spaces, tell our own stories and celebrate our own brilliance.
As Black people, we cannot always wait for outside institutions to validate our achievements or give us permission to shine. We must see, value and celebrate ourselves. 🖤
May his soul rest in peace 🙏🏾

Too often, African language teachers think their only source of income is teaching.
The truth is, your language skills can open so many more doors.
You could work as an interpreter, translator, cultural consultant, curriculum developer, content creator, author, voice-over artist, language coach, researcher, or even build your own language business. The opportunities are endless! You just need to know where to look and how to position yourself.
That’s exactly why we’re building something new.
The CultureTree African Language Accelerator (CALA) is designed to empower African language teachers to strengthen their teaching practice, embrace digital innovation, reach learners across the world and build sustainable language education businesses.
💚 Are you an African language teacher? We’d love to hear from you.
📋 Complete our short survey via the link in our bio and help us shape a programme designed by teachers, for teachers.
📣 Please share this post with every African language teacher in your network. Together, we can build a stronger future for African language education.

Happy New Month CultureTree Fam!
We wish you a month filled with laughter, good health and prosperity. ✨
May this April be one to remember for you and your loved ones. 🌸
What’s one thing you are most excited for this April? 🤎
On March 6, 1957, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah declared Ghana’s independence at the Old Polo Grounds in Accra, proclaiming, “Ghana, your beloved country, is free forever.” This historic moment ended British colonial rule and made Ghana the first modern African nation to gain independence, marking the beginning of self-governance and national pride.
Happy Independence Day to all our Ghanaian brothers and sisters 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

Happy New Month, CultureTree family 🌿✨
March is here and we are choosing intention over pressure.
May this month bring more smiles than stress, more wins than worries, and more peace than noise. May we build boldly, rest intentionally, and stay rooted in who we are.
We’ve seen the video. And yes, we know this is likely rage bait. The internet rewards controversial takes. People say the loudest things just to drive interaction. 🤦🏾♀️
But still… if you agree with this, then it reveals something deeper about you and how you perceive your culture. 😒
Russian, Polish and German names are not exactly “easy” either, yet people learn them. No one asks them to shrink their identity to make others comfortable. ✨
So what is it about African names❓
Across Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia and beyond, our names carry history, prayer, lineage, intention. They are stories, not inconveniences. ‼️
We should never diminish our culture for engagement, or for anyone. 🙅🏽♀️
Let’s talk. 👇🏾
How did you handle a situation where your name was mispronounced?

We saw this post on Twitter and decided to share it, especially to buttress the video we posted yesterday about producing knowledge in our indigenous languages. 🌍
The example given was the Igbo word Ndo. It is often translated as “sorry,” but it really means “I feel with you.” It expresses empathy and shared humanity in a way English does not fully capture.✨
Across Africa, there are words like this. Words that hold philosophy, emotion, and worldview within them. When we lose our languages or reduce them to quick translations, we risk losing those layers of meaning. 💔
Language is not just communication. It is knowledge. It is culture. 🙌🏾
Does your language have a word that goes beyond “sorry”?

What happens when people stop thinking in their own language? 🤔
Colonialism didn’t just take land, but slowly decentered African languages from education, knowledge production, and power.💪🏾
When language is pushed aside, worldview follows.
When we stop writing, researching, and creating in our mother tongues, we slowly disconnect from indigenous ways of knowing.✨
What would it look like to think, teach, and create in our own languages again? 👀

Do you know how to say these words in Swahili? 👀
We’re here to help.
Swahili is one of Africa’s most widely spoken languages, with over 100 million speakers across the continent. 🌍
It is spoken in countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, and Somalia, and it continues to grow as a unifying African language. 🫶🏾
From Jambo to Asante, every word carries culture, history, and connection. ✨✨
Which African language should we post next?
