HUMANOSPHERE
Guest post: Why are all these white folks deciding what Africa needs?
By Tom Paulson
Nigerian Kunle Oguneye, a former tech worker and current children's author decries the lack of diversity in the global health and development community.
This is a guest Humanosphere post from Kunle Oguneye, president of the Seattle chapter of The African Network, a Nigerian and former tech worker who now writes children’s books (which should, I hope, explain the photo).
Oguneye wrote me to suggest that Humanosphere tends to suffer from the same bias, or lack of diversity and perspective, that afflicts much of the local global health and development community.
