A new life awaits you in the off-world colonies
Threads crisscross the planet binding portico to rooftop, my Dakar stoop to your Chicago flat. This is where underdeveloped meets tech; two women are grinding grain, one is taken, and the other takes a call on her Samsung.
tu es tres jolie, ma soeur. je t’aime.

Excellent title for your photo – and very good expression on her face. Look like she is waiting for that other world….
Well done!

“If only you could have seen what I’ve seen with your eyes”
wow.
my sarcastic banter seems so inappropriate after taking time to see what you’ve seen…thank you for giving us your eyes over there
maybe someday I’ll come over and see with my own :)

When we were serving with the Peace Corps in Benin, my fellow volunteers and I would sometimes refer to the major cities of West Africa as the Off World Colonies. Since you grew up in Senegal, do you refer to nations apart from Africa as Off World?
