About Scarlett Lion
Photographer, writer, reporter. Going through life with an eye towards creating records and histories.
On the roof a a friend’s house in Nakasero, Kampala back in 2006, I went through a crate of discarded items he and a few other artists had gathered. On that day, I was looking for something, and I found the lion. Something about the hollowed out, paint chipped toy appealed to my understanding of this amazing continent: I’d never seen a real lion, after all.

This is an excellent (though mostly depressing) depiction of African facts. Can I use it (with all the applicable links of course!).
Cheers

Hi Holli,
This graphic is great And, not mine. I’ve reposted it from Appfrica, who reposted it from someone else. I’m sure if you put links up no one will mind.
Take Care,

Fantastic visual of an incredibly troubled country, more people need to see this!

Hi Brian,
Hopefully if you’re reading this blog, then you know that Africa is a continent and not a country and that there’s a whole lot more to this amazing place than just trouble.
Poke around a bit and check out some of the great links of the sidebar. And, for a more accurate map of Africa, check this out:
