The article by Yasmina Nuny explores the relationship between the Bijagó people of Guinea-Bissau and their environment. The Bijagó, who live on the Bijagós archipelago, have a deep respect for nature, which is central to their culture and the preservation of the islands' biodiversity. Despite this, the archipelago faces threats from climate change, such as rising sea levels and pollution from offshore petroleum exploration. The article discusses how the Bijagó attribute environmental issues to spiritual disharmony and how traditional practices are linked to environmental conservation. However, there is concern that younger generations are moving away from these traditions, potentially impacting the future of the Bijagó's environmental stewardship and their ability to cope with climate change.

The article discusses the critical role of women in the independence struggle of Guinea-Bissau and the ongoing fight for gender equality. It highlights the contributions of women like Ernestina 'Titina' Silá, Carmen Pereira, and others who were instrumental in the liberation movement against Portuguese and patriarchal rule. Despite their significant involvement, the article points out that the historical documentation and national commemoration often marginalize these women's participation. Forty-seven years post-independence, the ideals of women's liberation have not fully translated into the daily lives of Guinean women. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing and learning from the contributions of these women to inspire and lead modern-day Guinean women towards social, economic, and cultural liberation. The author, Yasmina Nuny, is a Bissau-Guinean writer and poet who underscores the need to continue the fight for women's rights in honor of the female combatants' legacies.

It emphasizes the importance of revisiting the works of radical thinkers like Dr. Angela Davis, Dr. Kehinde Andrews, and Amílcar Cabral, especially in the wake of George Floyd's death and the subsequent global 'Fed-Up' uprising. The author criticizes the tendency in Europe to view racism as an exclusively American issue and calls for a re-internationalization of the movement for black liberation, urging for a collective approach that includes all black individuals across the African continent and the diaspora.

The article reflects on the 33rd anniversary of the UK's Black History Month, highlighting its significance in celebrating Black contributions and instilling pride among Black British youth. It critiques the tokenistic and performative nature of institutions' engagement with Black History Month, particularly in the wake of George Floyd's death and the subsequent rise in 'allyship'.

The piece also touches on the economic disparities faced by Black people in the UK and the exploitation of Black labor. The author urges Black people to recognize the value of their work and to charge for their labor, especially during Black History Month, and calls for genuine anti-racist efforts from non-Black people and institutions.
