TDYR #022 – “Africa Straight Up” – Breaking Down Stereotypes

Many of us outside of Africa tend to think of everything happening in Africa in terms of one monolithic entity... that it is all "Africa"... yet that is so incredibly wrong when you understand the amazing diversity and differences within the people and countries of Africa. A 29-minute video called "Africa Straight Up" aims to break down those stereotypes and help introduce people to the true nature of "Africa". If you have a half-hour to spare, I'd strongly encourage you to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKUVfcXB14w
